A rather bitterly pessimistic article, but a usefully broad overview of the current meltdown:

I used to like Taibbi. Quite a bit. But right now I am still really bugged by that " interview " of Bush he published a while back. It was so stupid. Hell, Mad Magazine has a better touch than that piece did. Overly smug, immature and really weak.
I will still read his work. But I cannot help but to have lost some respect for him.
Oh well. I'm sure he'll live without my enthusiasm for a while.

The "Dirty Dozen" is perfect. I especially like the fact that Phil Gramm is so high on the list. Couldn’t happen to a better guy. Too, the placement of Robert Rubin is especially important. The TIME Magazine list didn't include Rubin on its list and I thought that was a serious omission.
