You cannot question Sorkin\u2019s work ethic. You cannot question his deep connections on Wall Street. And personally, I don\u2019t even question his sincerity. I do not believe that Andrew Ross Sorkin is a nefarious, scheming, two-faced spy, sent to do the bidding of Wall Street bankers in the halls of the nation\u2019s most important news outlet. I just think he is so dangerously, moronically credulous that his writing constitutes a danger to the public.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The article chose this quote from a Simon Johnson article, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/baselinescenario.com\/2014\/12\/06\/antonio-weiss-is-not-qualified-to-be-under-secretary-for-domestic-finance\/\">Antonio Weiss Is Not Qualified To Be Under Secretary For Domestic Finance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n    It\u2019s hard to think of any senior fiscal official from a serious country with qualifications as weak as those of Mr. Weiss.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The conclusion that I draw from this controversy is that Elizabeth Warren must have hit the Wall Street crooks where it  really hurts.  This is another one of those tests for the American public.
