Gee, that Robert Bradley interview really sucks. The guy had a ringside seat at one of the great financial meltdowns, one that seems like a sneak preview of the current credit crisis, and all he can say is that, like Obama, the Enron guys talked about green energy. Weak, weak, weak!

Die, Straw Man, die!!!!!!
