And the award for most trenchant baseball metaphor...


Goes to Madoff whistleblower Harry Markopolos, for his pronouncement today lambasting federal securities investigators:

“If you flew the entire SEC staff to Boston, and sat them in Fenway Park, they wouldn't be able to find first base.”

Wonder why he didn’t say Shea Stadium instead, though? (Or rather, ahem, the new and unfortunately named Citi Field?)

After all, it was the Mets who were victimized by Bernie’s Ponzi scheme, not us.

In fact, our billionaires seem to still be doing rather well for themselves.
