The Senator from Liberty Mutual...

If "Face the Nation" host Bob Schiefer wants to get Mass Mutual's slant on the pending financial reform bill in Washington, then he should book CEO Roger W. Crandall for an appearance, forget about the toadying middleman in this case, Senator Scott Brown.
Once again, Scott has embraced an issue without troubling his well coiffed mind with any reading of the pending legislation. His argument on Face the Nation was in essence "Roger W. Crandall sez the financial reform bill is bad, he wouldn't lie to me therefore I shall filibuster the bill!"
Otherwise this was  stupid, craven performance, a few more like it and the financial reform bill will probably land on the President's desk completely unmolested.

If the other side wants to win this one, then they ought to muzzle Senator Brown, the more he talks the less they seem to accomplish.
