Buffett's Moodys?

Who's benefiting Goldman Sachs?

Buffett's Moody's? Moody's Buffett?
    What a strange dichotomy.
Did The Warren Buffett muff it?
    Or win it in a lottery?

Why would a House of Games like Moody's
    be purchased by The Financier?
Knowing who pays for the ratings,
    are Berkshire's motives less than clear?

Does Warren want real change on Wall Street?
    Then why buy into Goldman Sachs?
Warren's shown integrity,
    something some say Goldman lacks.

Should bail-out bucks become bonanzas
    for bankers who've gone belly up?
Obviously Goldman thinks so.
    V.P.s broke? It antes up.

First it chose to pay off Liddy,
    its Trojan Horse at AIG,
To bear the brunt of bonus fury
    so its V.P.s escaped scot-free

When Goldman also paid them millions
    as recompense for what they lost.
It's no skin off Goldman's back
    when John Q. Public bears the cost.
