WHALE FAIL BAIL NAIL JAIL

Last week daytime Cable viewers were treated to a pair of contrasting high-stakes interrogations.

On CSPAN we saw Carl Levin questioning JPMorgan Chase execs about their false public reporting of  huge trading losses.

Senator Levin even had an email authored by this poor JPM-executive lady urging an underling to "tweak" the figures to be reported.

But, as with most such hearings, the witnesses were allowed to dance around the questions.

Not so, over on HLN, where prosecutor Juan Martinez was stunning us all with his harsh, forceful, unrelenting cross examinations in the  Jodi Arias' trial.

I'm not the only viewer who'd like to see Juan Martinez question Jamie Dimon under oath.

FDR told the nation that Wall Street misdeeds were committed by "malefactors of great wealth."

Obama calls them "some folks who acted irresponsibly."

Or, just, "golfing partners."
