Elizabeth Warren appeared recently on The Daily Show and won Vicki and I over almost immediately. I had not really heard of her before that, but she's been showing up in the news more and more as a result of her role as the head of the Congressional Oversight Panel (COP) that's tasked with providing oversight to the Troubled Asset Recovery Program (TARP).
You can read a little about why the conservatives don't like her here and actually watch her provide the executive overview of COP's most recent monthly report here. She's a delight to listen to because she speaks plainly and yet enthusiastically about her subject, and as such I imagine she's been a great professor throughout her career. I'm not sure how much power her group really has, but at least they've introduced a bit more transparency to a program introduced by the very-opaque Bush administration.
