I don’t know what I hate worse; hangovers or economic downturns.
Financial experts have spent months tracing the roots of the housing market implosion that sent the global economy into chaos. President Bush has his own explanation: Wall Street got drunk.
“There’s no question about it. Wall Street got drunk,” Bush told supporters at a Republican fundraiser in Houston Friday. “It got drunk and now it’s got a hangover. The question is, how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments?”
I’m totally getting where W is coming from. Nobody with a hangover should try to work anything fancier than a child-proof bottle of Alieve. Fortunately for me my constitution is a bit stronger than Wall Street’s though, my hangovers typically don’t start until I’ve sobered up. Apparently W’s experiences were a little different from mine.
