All they left out was the Jolly Roger

The constant stream of revelations about Washington Mutual and the rapacious and totally unrestrained manner of their mortgage banking makes me think that you could fill up both of the prisons that were being considered for the Gitmo boys and still need more cells for the criminals involved in that bank. ANd they were proud of it.
I like big bucks and I cannot lie," they sang. "You mortgage brothers can't deny.”

We're not making it up. According to documents released as part of a Congressional investigation, bankers from the failed Washington Mutual rewrote the lyrics to 1992's "Baby Got Back" to celebrate their dominance of the mortgage lending market.
And the rest of the verse goes
That when the dough rolls in like you're printin’ your own cash/

And you gotta make a splash/

You just spends/

Like it never ends/

Cuz you gotta have that big new Benz/

All of that bling you're wearin'/

Shining so bright peoples starin'/

It's crazy, I gotta ski Aspen/

That's all I'm askin
And there were cheerleaders, too. And this is what the Republican Party is being paid by Wall St. to defend. No wonder Mitch The Chin McConnell always looks like he just took one up the ass.
