Dana Milbank seems to have recently changed from an inside the beltway wiseguy to an angry populist. I wondered what happened. Now I think I know.

Loyalty to the village is weaker than hatred of the Citi.

Some loan officer at Citibank has been messing up so bad (because his laptop was in the shop) that Dana Milbank just closed a column with

"it will continue, with its resulting drag on the economy, unless and until the big banks can be brought to heel."

Surely some kamikaze leftist can infiltrate the bank which handles Fred Hiatt's mortgage. I mean that loan officer "accidentally" (riight) did more to weaken the banks than Elizabeth Warren has managed so far.
