Levin v. Goldman Sachs

Checking out NYTimes.com this morning, I grinned at photos of the Ukrainian Parliament as they threw down, threw eggs, and threw smoke bombs during a debate over extending a lease on a Russian naval base (the smoke cleared, and the deal passed). I thought, Wouldn't that be something to see in our government?

Enter today's senate hearings on the financial crisis, featuring Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) and a bunch of suits from Goldman Sachs. Levin called out Goldman over a "s*****" deal. I don't know what was more fun: the smoke bomb, Levin's s-bombs, or watching the media try to deal with Levin's "salty" or "colorful" language.
