Over the weekend we were treated to the spectacle of Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, declaring that he and his coterie of thieves, liars and 3 card monte dealers were "Doing God's work". Today Andy Borowitz reports on the prees conference held by Mr. Blankfien's real boss.

"Lloyd Blankfein seems to have forgotten who came up with the idea of credit default swaps, derivatives, and mortgage-backed securities," he said. "I don't want to sound like a diva, but how about a little respect for the guy who signs your paycheck?"
