There were lots of heartfelt comments on our story about Bailey/Coy shutting its doors, but we've got to give today's "Comment of the Day" to Sen. Maria Cantwell.

No, she didn't weigh in on the PubliCola threads, but man did she say what was on her mind this morning during an MSNBC interview. We already reported on what we thought was her hardball quote—that she wasn't sure why President Obama's treasury secretary still had a job—but here's some more.

The real hardball quote comes at the very end. Check it out:

"[Meet the Press'] David Gregory had [Geithner] on trying to get a straight answer out of him, and what the treasury secretary basically said was that yes banks should take more risks and we should continue the loopholes, and that's really appalling ... because we know that lacks of transparency  has caused this problem with the U.S. economy ...

The treasury secretary stands to be an enabler of the crisis that's already happened, happening again."
