propping up a dead AG

In the same spirit, from today's Slate:  "La Repubblica of Rome ran a 
front-page comment Wednesday comparing the reappointment of Greenspan to the 
Italian peasant tradition of carrying in procession a statue of the Holy 
Protector to placate the weather. 'Yesterday Bill Clinton raised the blessed 
icon of Alan Greenspan in the world's central square against the sudden and 
furious storm that is sweeping through the stock markets,' it said."
