...could offer the committee. My first idea was that we should call it the League of Decency and get cool names, spandex outfits and a hall with a giant videophone wall. My second idea was that we get paid lots of money and watch porn all day and complain about how indecent it is.

Take a number, and wait behind the bankers and professors. Eager to trash his endorsement of tax cuts? Expect to get his answering machine. He's on the other line talking to his old friend Robert Rubin, who put through an emergency call to Greenspan two weeks ago to try to muzzle the Fed chief's pro-slice stance...
