POLITICO: Reassurances for thee, panic for me: “Sen. Richard Burr (D-N.C.) told his wife to pull the family’s cash out of an ATM at the height of last fall’s financial crisis — but he advised North Carolinians not to panic when Charlotte-based Wachovia was taken over by Citigroup in an emergency transaction around the same time.”

The country’s in the very best of hands.

UPDATE: Politico says Burr is a Democrat, but this says he’s a Republican.
