To hear Bill Black tell it like it is you have to go to Bill Moyers on PBS or onto the blogs as there has been a main stream media blackout on the former regulator who was put on a hit list by Charles Keating. ' Metaphorically, of course."

"During the savings and loan crisis, it was Black who accused then-house speaker Jim Wright and five US Senators, including John Glenn and John McCain, of doing favors for the S&L's in exchange for contributions and other perks.

Metaphorically, of course."
