Ok, I think I know what Balta is getting at. For the most part it's difficult to get Republicans or right-leaning voters to notice institutionalized Wall Street corruption in any meaningful way, most of the time they defend it (perhaps without realizing that's what they're doing, resisting the call to add to or modernize existing regulations because they usually believe the regulations are a problem as an article of faith) or won't accept that the modern GOP since the 80s supports the environment that allows things to like this to happen full stop. But, they notice CORZINE because he was an elected Dem, so now some confirmation bias is in order. Corzine is a Dem, ergo, similar corruption is the fault of Dems, ergo, there is otherwise no problem and nothing needs to be done except get rid of Dems.
With the dollar amount Corzine stole and lost, and the cockiness about it, we would have noticed even if it was Jesus.
