She was never hot. She's a self serving cunt. She analyzed the Derivative Loans before it became a policy to inflate the RE bubble.
She was paid off to shut up about it, and did not sound the alarm as America's middle class American Dream was ripped to shreds.
Google and Youtube has done a great job of making sure the March 11 2011 Documentary about it on Dateline never comes to light. I can't find it anywhere. But I remember distinctly watching it, on the same night the BP Oil Spill clean up was going on, and the Japan tsunami, I was in Orlando that night with my Family for my daughter's birthday. That Dateline episode was the only thing on TV worth watching. I had no idea who she was until that show.

She analyzed the Derivative LoansI recall your earlier post which prompted me to search Geithner and Warren. Where was she when she was analyzing these loans?

In Clinton's second Term. She was taking credit for warning Clinton which was ignored. And claims She knew all through the RE bubble it would collapse.
This episode of Dateline aired then soon after she was offered a career in politics, and that was the end of that. It was her claim to fame for being trusted with writing the CPFB legislation.

It's not in IMDB either. Not under Dateline, and not under EW.

I don’t remember a split second where anyone considered her cool or hot. She was always a whiny socialist grandma that left tried to promote and it never caught on. Being fake Indian really made it clear that she’s been simply a manipulative liar who garners pity in order to get ahead.
Elizabeth Warren was in the president’s head.
From the summer of 2010 through summer of 2011, the usually unflappable Barack Obama spent long hours agonizing over the then-Harvard Law professor—so much that his aides felt it was distracting from more pressing national concerns, according to interviews with numerous former White House officials.
Amid the financial crisis, Warren had become an unlikely star of the left with unambiguous moral outrage and an ability to explain complex financial topics in ways that made them fodder for dinner-table conversation. Improbably, she had turned a largely powerless congressional panel monitoring the bank bailout into a national bully pulpit of populist fury. Her target was not just the big banks but the new Democratic administration, which she suggested had been co-opted by them.
She parlayed her newfound status into a push for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to be part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill. As the legislation was about to pass in June of 2010, Warren met with presidential adviser David Axelrod and was blunt: She wanted Obama to nominate her to run the agency or she could continue probing the Treasury’s every move.
“I took it as a message; I think she meant it as one,” Axelrod says. Warren sent the signal that she could either be inside the tent pissing out or outside pissing in, Axelrod says, quoting a vivid Lyndon B. Johnson quip.
Obama was equally straightforward. “Tell her to keep her mouth shut,” he said, according to Axelrod. “She may well be the choice, but we can’t surface that now.”
Even though Warren had infuriated many on his economic team, Obama wanted Warren inside the tent. After he signed the Dodd-Frank legislation in July 2010 with her in the front row, Obama tried to find a compromise.
One White House official suggested to Warren that the president would nominate someone else but she would be the bureau’s “cheerleader.”
“It was insulting. And I wasn't going to do it,” Warren recalls in an interview this summer from the presidential campaign trail in Iowa, dodging whether she found the suggestion sexist.
What about a special adviser? No. The bureau’s public spokeswoman? Nope.
Obama then tried to make a personal sell. On a sweltering day in September 2010, they met in the Oval Office and Obama took her to a private garden to pitch a vague role setting up the agency under Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. With Obama cool in his shirtsleeves and Warren sweating in a jacket because she felt her shirt was too revealing for a presidential audience, she again said no.
“I was not going to set that agency up asking Tim Geithner every day, ‘Mother may I?’” Warren says. “It just wasn't going to work.”
