Bro, What?

The legislative branch has finally decided financial reform might be a good idea. But don’t worry, there are plenty of dissenters to provide cute/embarassing/irrelevant quotes.

Financial Reform Opponent #1: House Minority Leader John Boehner

This morning, before the Senate even voted on the Wall Street reform bill, Boehner advised, “I think it ought to be repealed.” Instead, he offered this solution: “There are common sense things that we should do to plug the holes in the regulatory system that were there, and to bring more transparency to financial transactions. Because transparency is like sunlight, and sunlight is the best disinfectant.”

In that case, maybe we should pull back the curtains at the Capitol, because with people like Boehner in positions of power, I think Congress could use a good old fashioned disinfecting.
