Why You Should Hate the Treasury Bailout Proposal

In probably the craziest twist so far, at a UN panel discussion on the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, Michael Douglas was asked by a reporter for his thoughts on the economic crisis...and was addressed as Gordon Gekko!

After world leaders here condemned the "boundless greed" of world markets, Douglas was asked to compare nuclear Armageddon with the "financial Armageddon on Wall Street."

But the likening to Gekko did not end there, with a reporter asking: "Are you saying Gordon that greed is not good?"

"I'm not saying that," Douglas replied. "And my name is not Gordon. He's a character I played 20 years ago."

That reporter had to be some sort of plant from the Howard Stern show or something. Right?

Please tell me the conduits to our information are not that hopelessly stupid!
