In case you missed it the first eight times, she said "We need a cop on the beat"

Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank writes about Elizabeth Warren appearing before a House committee yesterday stressing the importance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He seemed to be particularly amused by her use of the 'cop on the beat' metaphor:

"If [Warren is] the cop, then banks are the robbers, and members of the Republican majority on the committee sounded like lawyers for the accused."

In case you were wondering, I'm guessing this was planned well in advance since the CFPB's web site has an image of a police shield with the letters 'CFPB' inscribed in bold block letters.
