This is Lloyd Blankfein, pictured in a BBC News article on Goldman Sachs execs testifying to Congress entitled, 'Goldman Sachs "Profited at Clients' Expense"'. Lloyd is Sachs' CEO.
Seems a proper reaction for having to play in the absurdist theatre of a Senate hearing on a scandal, where everyone is positively outraged by the actions of their patrons. Not like it's news that Wall Street is filled with dicks who just want to fuck you. "I'm shocked, shocked to find gambling going on in this establishment!"
Meanwhile, our representatives will continue to whittle down their not-quite-strong-enough to begin with legislation set on reigning in just these sorts of excesses. Of course, even should it be detoothed and declawed, our Republican friends and officials will still lament it being much too intrusive, stifling, and 'big government', as they call for the tougher reform of largely letting the markets manage themselves.
Perhaps I shouldn't, but I can't help it. I love politics.
