Sunday's column has to do with the wildly entertaining House Financial Services Committee hearing on the bailout.
I know, it doesn't sound funny. But check it out.
First, we have Rep. Maxine Waters, a California Democrat.
Read the Los Angeles Times story about Waters' lobbying for a bank that has her husband on its board of directors here.
And then, Rep. Michele Bachmann, a Minnesota Republican.
Democracy in action!
Here is a New York Times story about the currency thing Bachmann was talking about. It doesn't really have to do with a world currency replacing the dollar. It's a little more complicated than that. And still, Geithner is not in favor of it.
Also, props to the snarky political blog Wonkette for its coverage of the hearing.
