Senate Confirms New York Prosecutor as Watchdog for $700B Bailout

By GottaLaff

There's slim pickin's out there in the news world today:

The Senate has confirmed a New York prosecutor as watchdog of the $700 billion rescue program for the nation's financial sector.

Neil M. Barofsky will become a special inspector general within the Treasury Department to audit and investigate spending by the so-called Troubled Asset Relief Program. President George W. Bush nominated Barofsky to the position last month.

His confirmation had been held up anonymously by one senator. The opposition was lifted last week.

I wonder who Anon was.
