Right/Left Convergence

The uniform reaction, on the left and the right, to news that "a dozen former top Countrywide executives now stand to make millions from the home mortgage mess" they themselves helped create, demonstrates the breadth of grassroots opposition to the Republican/Democratic kleptocracy. At the Astute Bloggers, whose stated mission is to "expose leftist propaganda," we read: "SICKENING . . . the vultures . . . couldn't do it without the cooperation of the politicians." On the other hand, the Democratic Daily, which provides readers with "progressive commentary and liberal opinions," is similarly incensed: "Un-freakin-believable. Greed and avarice at its highest and lowest."
