Hillary Clinton, speaking at the Indiana J-J dinner, may have taken this white, working-class populism thing to a Cross-of-Gold rhetorical extreme (the authentic WJ Bryan is above). Speaking of the mortgage crisis, Clinton asked the crowd: "Why don't we hold these Wall St money grubbers responsible for their role in this recession?"
It should be noted that many (presumably non-grubbing) Wall Streeters are her biggest fund raisers and she's a big investor in a pair of hedge funds.
Also no word on whether she'll be reassessing her position on evolution or the League of Nations.

In 2006 the Denoc"rats" said throw out the Republ"ICANS" and elect us, we will make things better.
Well voters did boot out the Republ"ICANS"
Things have not gotten better they have gotten worst.
GAS, FOOD,ETC PRICES ARE UP
PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES.
THEY NOW BLAME "WALL STREE" THEY BLAME "OIL COMPANIES" ETC.ETC.
But they are very happy taking MONEY FROM THE VERY PEOPLE THEY BLAME.
The DEMOC"RATS" HAVE BEEN IN CONTROL OF CONGRESS FOR 16 MONTHS. AND THINGS ARE NOT BETTER.
It is time to ELECT REPUBL"ICANS" AGAIN.
If they mess up throw them out in 2010.
Doesn't Chelsea work at a hedge fund? So is she one of these "money grubbers" too? How about all of their billionaire BFF's?
Hillary Soprano the Goldwater Girl is the "MASTER OF MISSPEAKING" she has been doing it for 35 years.
When Bill left office the were millions of dollars in debit. Today they are on there way to becoming members of BILLIONAIRES FOR BUSH.
THE DEMOC'RATS' ARE RAISING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM WHOM ????????
People are losing their jobs, homes, don't have money for food or gas. Yet the DEMOC'RATS' SEEM to be able to raise all this MONEY, agin from whom ?????
The only people who have MONEY ARE DRUGS, INSURANCE, OIL COMPANIES, MONEY GRUBBERS Is that who is giving them money.
When your a pot you don't call the kettle black.
Typical Clintons. She is invested in two Wall Street hedge funds and her daughter is working for a hedge fund and now she wants to blame Wall Street for this nation' problems.
Very difficult to say you have the solutions when you are a big part of the problem.
Hopefully the people of Indiana will figure her out before Tuesday. She is running around the Hoosier state "PROMISING" JOBS! JOBS! JOBS! Just as she campaigned in New york and cities like Buffalo "PROMISING" JOBS! JOBS! JOBS! Well tnat promise to the people of Buffalo was made 6 years ago.
And I quote! " Private sector employment in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls metro area decreased by 1,200, or 0.3 percent, to 444,500 over the 12 months ending March 2008. Job gains were centered in leisure and hospitality (+2,000), professional and business services (+1,200), and trade, transportation and utilities (+300). Losses occurred in natural resources, mining and construction (-1,800), manufacturing (-1,700), financial activities (-800), and educational and health services (-500)."
Unemployment rate in Buffalo in March 2007 was 4.9% tonight is stands at 6.2%.
Hillary will do the same thing for the workers of Indiana and the rest of this nation.
Indiana do not be fooled. She will say anything to get elected. She did in New York!
All that's left is for her to remind us that those "Wall Street money-grubbers" are mainly jews.
