A reader just let me know about President Bush's latest piece of trenchant analysis of the country's economic situation. Seems Bush was at a closed fundraiser in Houston, Texas on behalf of a Republican congressional candidate last week, and had asked for the cameras to be turned off, but not everyone complied.

ABC News' Houston affiliate obtained some footage from the event, and the Houston Chronicle's Beltway Confidential blog has posted that video, which can be seen below. In it, Bush says:

Wall Street got drunk -- that's one of the reasons I asked you to turn off your TV cameras -- 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.

And then we've got a housing issue. Not in Houston -- evidently not in Dallas, because Laura's over there trying to buy a house today.

Socialist America, Part 2 ... The Joker's wild!
Solution: Cure Wall Street's hangover with this 12-step intervention
By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch

ARROYO GRANDE, Calif. (MarketWatch) -- Dark Knight. Gotham City. "I am the agent of chaos," says "The Joker," the perfect metaphor for a binging alcoholic. "The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules."
Yes, he wants free trade, deregulation, privatization and globalization. The Joker imagery mirrors today's world: America in chaos. Democracy in chaos. Capitalism in chaos. And Wall Street at the epicenter. Listen:


"There is no question about it. Wall Street got drunk," said President George W. Bush recently as he blamed America's economic crisis on an out-of-control Wall Street. "It got drunk and now it's got a hangover ... The question is how long will it [take to] sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments."
Brilliant diagnosis! Dr. Bush not only exposes Wall Street's underlying psychological and moral defects. He not only warns us of a new Wall Street disaster dead ahead (real drunks rarely change). He makes clear why American capitalism is turning into a socialist economy.
