Miers schmiers: Meet Bernanke

I don't mind a "REAL" Republican as head of the Fed, and this guy signals some profesional continuity. At least he is not a neo-con. Besides he graduated from MIT. MIT (unlike Harvard) does not let dummies in the door much less out of the door at the other end.

Maybe somebody should clone him. Country Club "brown shoe" Repubs can be reasoned with and negotiated with.

I do like that he's not known for telegraphing a political ideology. This will be interesting to watch -- moreso than what's-her-name because this guy seems to have some substance.
