Naming Names: Who Made Anderson Cooper’s First Cut of Culprits of the Collapse?
Posted on October 19, 2008 by bostonkayakguy
Anderson Cooper’s Top Culprits of the Collapse ended the week realizing that culpability extended well beyond the number 10.  So CNN will continue reporting on the Culprits, and we’ll have to stay tuned…
The first 5 culprits include Joe Cassano/AIG, Richard Fuld/Lehman, Chris Cox/SEC, Phil Gramm/former US senator, Alan Greenspan/former FED chairman, and Ian McCarthy/Beazer Homes.

Naming Names: Anderson Cooper’s Top Culprits of the Collapse…
Well as the minions at CNN waded through the detritus of the financial markets infrastructure, it seems that it became apparent that the problems that ate away at the underpinning of the US economy extended far beyond the number 10.
CNN’s The Morning Buzz announced that the TOP TEN CULPRITS OF THE COLLAPSE has now morphed into the broader “Top Culprits….”
No end in sight to the numbers of culprits that … (2 comments)

Culprits of the Collapse - #7 Phil Gramm
It seemed appropriate that a politician take his place with the rogue’s gallery of Top Ten Culprits of the Collapse, so former Senator Phil Gramm of Texas now assumes the fourth photo on the post office wall!

Posted on October 14, 2008 by bostonkayakguy 
AS the Top Ten Culprits of the Collapse continues to roll out, we wonder when the first politician will make an appearance on Anderson Cooper’s list.
AIG/Cassano, Lehman/Fuld, SEC/Cox…those in the government who played pivotal roles in the financial fiasco are many.
Who will make their appearance in the #7 slot?
Stay tuned…
