Financial Roundtable Funhouse

Just got through watching a dignified and astute Roundtable of Experts on Charlie Rose discussing the current financial crisis. At the end of the hour, the only thing that was coming to my mind was a clip from the old Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series on PBS, from an episode called "The Devil's Foot" (a particular favorite of my brother and I growing up.)

The section of this clip from 2:09 to 2:39 was what I was thinking of. I think it accurately summarizes the overall take of the Roundtable of Experts on the colossal goatfuck in the desert (to borrow some of the Coen Bros' locution) that Wall St. has become.
