As the clock winds down on an extraordinary year in finance, we take a look back at some of the most notable quotes from some of the most notable players of 2008, including:
* The policymakers: Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson.
* The politicians: President George Bush and Arizona Senator John McCain.
* The CEOs: Former Wall Street chieftains Alan Schwartz and Dick Fuld, and GM’s Rick Wagoner.
* The scandal monkeys: Rod Blagojevich and Bernie Madoff.
Of course, this isn’t a complete list of all the people who made 2008 so memorable (and painful for most investors). But each in his own way, the people above and their comments captured the Zeitgeist of a remarkable year that can’t end soon enough.
