When a political party needs PR newswire for press, we’re all in trouble.
I searched “Waxman + hearings + Freddie,” hoping Henry Waxman might call hearings on the Fannie and Freddie Meltdowns that Ate the World. Republicans want those hearings, and so would any sane voter, but so far there’s no word that Democrat Waxman has the balls to schedule them before the election. Maybe Barney Frank needs time for a makeover. The media are all over it.
No, wait. Sorry. They’re not. But at least a Republican can get some form of communication witht he public via press release because if he mentions Fannie or Freddie, the release will show up in financial reporting because while each may be a “government sponsored entity,” they are still publicly traded.
Sad.
