Elizabeth Warren, the best person ever

Paul Krugman devotes his column this week to discussing the attacks on Elizabeth Warren, former head of the TARP investigation panel and the Obama administration's would-be director of the new consumer protection agency overseeing financial services.

Elizabeth Warren, the love of my life

The column is really nothing new - anyone who's been following Warren's interactions with Congress will be unsurprised by the kind of mud being slung at her. But it underscores for me just how terrified of Elizabeth Warren Republicans in Congress are.

I've been in love with Elizabeth Warren since I first saw her on The Daily Show some time ago, and I'm convinced that she is what we need more of on the Left - very smart, bold people who are willing to talk straight and say what they mean because they've got the facts on their side. And I think she scares people because we're so unused to seeing that on the Left in the United States.

So rock on. Elizabeth Warren for President in 2016. Because you know she'd be awesome at it.
