You go girl: Elizabeth Warren redux



The faux Elizabeth Warren in this satirical send-up is almost as awesome as the real deal!

(h/t Crooks and Liars)

It's obvious that those in the press and in the corridors of power will attempt to pressure her to pursue a milquetoast agenda, but given the way the economy is going and the profound disconnect between the ruling plutocrats and the citizens of the nation, it seems to me that any politician willing to challenge the status quo and expose the fraud mongering in congress will have the support of the majority of people across America.

The Democratic Party has learned that sending up another corporate stooge, like that of Massachusetts  AG Martha Coakley, to fight for the seat held by liberal lions such as Edward M.Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy is a losing proposal. The Hartford Informer described Coakley's loss to Scott Brown -in the most liberal state in the United States of America- as nothing less than "one of the biggest failures of a political party and a candidate in recent history."

Coakley's campaign was by all accounts pathetic.  Her arrogance in assuming that regardless of her opponents position and the national trends that the citizens of Massachusetts would elect her.  Weeks prior to the election she was slumming with corporate benefactors, instead of engaging citizens and letting them know that Kennedy's legacy and liberal vision would continue in her advocacy.

On the other hand, Elizabeth Warren has shown the country that she believes in what she preaches.  Her position at Harvard University in researching consumer bankruptcies and as the central figure most responsible for the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, provides a firm example of what intelligent, dedicated, and responsible liberalism can accomplish.
