How did an Audit the Fed amendment get through a dysfunctional Congress?
Matt Stoller, former staff member for Representative Alan Grayson and writer for Naked Capitalism, talks to Cenk about the behind-the-scenes effort that was needed to include an Audit the Fed amendment in the 2009 financial reform bill, which Congress passed into law. This long interview provides well-informed insight into the operation of Congress, how legislation is made, and the political process in general.
Matt Stoller has been involved in progressive politics in a variety of roles. He writes for http://www.nakedcapitalism.com and is currently the political correspondent for the TV show BrandX with Russell Brand, which airs Thursday nights on FX.

My post may be off topic but could not resist this. Looks like the mittster has done another major faux pas in the UK. He has managed to insult David Cameron.
Check out this story: http://t.co/Px6sYuD2
I guess he’ll have to apologize for US declaring our independence in 1776 to make up for that.

Just reading that Romney met with the head of MI6. I didn’t realize that common foreign citizens were able to make appointments to meet the equivalent of the D.C.I. Will have to keep that in mind the next time I am in London…
Romney doesn’t even qualify for U.S. Intelligence briefings until after the GOP Convention and he gets to meet with foreign intelligence officials???? Of course, the Rom-bot faux-pas-ed by even mentioning the meeting in public.

I listened to the New Zealand interview of Tom Friedman from Glenn Greenwald’s link to it. http://www.salon.com/2012/07/25/the_value_of_tom_friedman/ I think Seder listeners will appreciate the Katherine Harris-esque breathlessly crazy speech pattern that begins to manifest as it goes on.
I was not familiar with this guy, but without context of what he normally sounds like, I think he sounded like someone off his meds, or developing Alzheimer’s symptoms. The corporate media must be really devoted to making him seem normal.
