George Will nominates Bernanke for “Person of the Year”

I’m disappointed in George Will. In his latest column he reveals that he is in bed with the Fed. Get a load of this quote:

If Time magazine has a lick of sense, Bernanke will be its Person of the Year because his leading role in stabilizing the financial system enabled the president to pursue other objectives. He did not do it perfectly, but he prevented paralysis.

George, how much money has Bernanke printed for you? Did Linda Robertson, the former Enron lobbyist turned Fed pusher, have Ben send you a “gift” for your column? Or perhaps you had lunch with Judd Gregg, who has already called “shotgun” for a ride in Ben’s helicopter?

A simpler explanation would be that you are just one of those elitists who think that we are too stupid to understand the mechanics of supply and demand. In any case, with your column you have chosen sides.

Every word from Bernanke’s mouth is a eulogy of denial. He denies reality. The dollar has been murdered and there is blood on the hands of Bernanke and Greenspan. It’s now time to add George Will to the list of accessories.

    I find Mr. WIll's article to be surprising. How he can think that Mr. Bernanke has done a fair enough job but has been tripped up by government statues is beyond me. I certainly never heard from Mr. Bernanke that he was being hampered by the Humphrey-Hawkins Full Employment Act of 1978 – has anybody?

    David Sirota has a great article on influencing Senators on the Banking Committee to vote no.
