Lincoln Chafee asked for some slack on his vote for the repeal of Glass-Steagall because ...
"I was appointed to office; it was my very first vote.
"Are you saying you didn't know what you were voting for?"
"I'd just arrived to Senate."
Critics of the repeal of Glass-Steagall say it led to the financial collapse of 2008.
Chafee is right about one thing. He was sworn in on Nov. 4, the same day as the final vote.
