Not true; despite everything, Woodtard was right <i>once</i>. Although now, I assume Bernstein did all the work.

Tell it to that money-whore Mary Schapiro, who left the SEC to go work for a bank consulting <a href="http:\/\/finance.fortune.cnn.com\/2013\/04\/02\/mary-schapiro-promontory\/" target="_blank">firm</a> . She says it's not revolving door because she won't go back to government. I guess she thinks revolving doors swing in two directions.

Here's a nice quote:

<blockquote>Promontory came under criticism late last year for leading a review of foreclosure practices at a number of the big banks. The reviews were supposed to be independent. But reports revealed that Promontory and others allowed the banks to control the process more than they should have. Ultimately, regulators determined the reviews were flawed and shut them down earlier than expected, but not before Promontory and other consultants collected $2 billion in fees.</blockquote>

When all else fails, go for the old saw about how Al Gore is a fat, stuffy, phony. Guaranteed to keep you riding the DC Cocktail Circuit until they drop your mouldering corpse in the ground.

Hold on, someone will be buy with the Memory Realigner* to "adjust" your recollection.

Not even lying, I'm 100% positive my ex has that, she got a cat (while living in China) and her personality changed totally... It was really bizarre, I asked her to go to the doctor about it but she refused... and now she's my ex :P
