Simon Johnson and I were talking this morning about his appearance on Rachel Maddow’s show last night (I wrote about here this morning), and about the sleazeball Wall Street front group that funded this ad targeting Harry Reid, Claire McCaskill, Mark Warner and Jim Webb. That conversation led to an idea, and then I got the good folks at Americans United for Change involved: let’s do a video calling these fraudulent bankers out. Simon volunteered that he was doing a big speech at Harvard this afternoon, and if AUFC got the ad done in time, he would show it as part of his presentation. We got it done in time, Simon used it in his speech, and I think it came out pretty good. Check it out:
