Capuano's heated words to 8 bank CEOs

So this was posted on Wonkette today and thought some of you might be interested.
The video from CSPAN runs about 5min.

Capuano voted for the deregulation legislation that caused this financial mess. Most of them did. As most Congresspeople, he just plays outraged and shocked for the masses. Frankly, I think that all Congresspeople who voted for this kind of financial deregulation should be forced to step down, at minimum.

"...all Congresspeople who voted for this kind of financial deregulation should be forced to step down, at minimum."
What a delicous thought......we could clear out the House and the Senate in one fell swoop!!
I think they add things into random bills specifically so that people won't know they're in there (have you seen any of the lists being circulated with some of the things they've included in the so-called 'stimulus' bill?). And you're unfortunately being naive if you think they read the bills before voting. Most of them don't. It's all a game, and it's called 'you scratch my back, I'll scrath yours....and screw the taxpayers in the process!'

He did have one substantive comment in all the rhetoric... "I have no money in your banks." (I hope its true.) We do have some leverage in the situation.
