1. Hopefully Olberman or Maddow can play this

Just to see the repukes wince seeing what they call a "socialist" nailing the problem 5 years ago would be pure gold. Thanks for getting this video.

2. Bernie should have just gone down and popped him in the nose

That sanctimonious old fart should be in jail for impoverishing the country with his loopy economic theories.

3. Bernie Sanders looks TOTALLY different these days!

Greenspan looks like the same old LYING, CHEATING
droopy dawg.

4. Go Bernie!

[mucifer]

5. I'd love to see Bernie get a powerful post in the administration. It seems being 1 in 100

in the senate just isn't enough.

6. Sanders was in House at the time.

Can we get a date?

[Muttocracy]

7. Maybe June 2003? Found this in his Wiki entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders#In_the_House_of_Representatives

Sanders has also criticized Alan Greenspan. In June 2003, during a question-and-answer discussion with then-Federal Reserve chairman, Sanders told Greenspan that he was concerned that Greenspan was "way out of touch" and "that you see your major function in your position as the need to represent the wealthy and large corporations."<10>

10. This makes such 'good' news,

if anyone cares to use it.

Bernie FOREVER!

8. Regardless of the date of this, it should be back to back to Greenspan Oct 23rd...

... when he was so shocked and sorry about the whole free market thing having failed.

Hmmm, what a difference a few years makes... a drawn sullen face, even providing less of a vessel of what would be a spirit inside. You think this guy lived in the real world? Ask his wife. This dried up elitist had the temerity to admit he was shocked about how much failure his free market theories ushered in.

I hear Gitmo is still taking reservations. I think this bastard should get a room with a big view of reality.

11. How many times has the BushAdmin claimed "we couldn't have predicted..."

[MrMickeysMom]

12. Too numerous to count...

... and I interpret this is as in many cases LIHOP.

Rack up the charges and book em, (Dannon?) We must never let this happen again.

[MrMickeysMom]

9. Oh, yes... KICK!

[ghostsofgiants]

13. Bernie Sanders FTW.

14. Excellent, thanks for posting this.

15. This man is living in some alternate universe.........

When in hell did it suddenly not matter if all a country produces are guns and debt?

Not much wonder the economy is on the track that it is......

[underpants]

16. The guy behind Sanders broke the rule on backbenchers on C-Span

he smile or emoted emotion. You rarely see that on C-Span
