Collins vs. Collins

Sen. Collins has a surprisingly--stunningly--sane op-Ed in today's PPH about possible new regulations for Wall Street.

It's hard to make sense of the piece, but not because of anything it says. It's perplexing, instead, because the entire spirit and substance of its recommendation bear almost no resemblance to Collins' industry-friendly, GSE-scapegoating comments on the financial meltdown in the debates and in her campaign's statements.

So I really hope that the Susan Collins who wrote ("wrote"?) this op-Ed gets in touch with the Susan Collins we've been seeing on the campaign trail. She might learn a thing or two.
