Martin Eisenstadt, a former McCain campaign adviser, television talking head, and senior fellow at the neoconservative Harding Institute for Freedom and Democracy, is the bedrock upon which our illustrious nation rests—if he does say so himself. “Pundits have been essential to American democracy since the birth of our great country,” he says. “If George Washington was the first American president, then it could be said that Ben Franklin was the first American pundit.

Bernanke makes a convincing case that the remarkably loose monetary policies he supported under his predecessor, Alan Greenspan, did not create the housing bubble; it's amusing to see longtime Greenspan fanboys like John McCain trashing Bernanke for insufficient foresight. And while the Fed should have provided stronger oversight, Bernanke is a much more aggressive regulator than Greenspan ever was; in any case, the Fed was never responsible for AIG, Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers or most of the other firms that blew up the financial system...
