...have been able to quickly complete capital-raising deals. Yet, unlike Citi and BofA, none of these planned actions were included in their stress-test results. Citi's results also downplayed the damage to shareholders that will result from restoring Citi's common capital ratios. In order to put Citi back on its feet, the company's shareholders will be diluted more than any other public bank that was part of the stress test.

But as in any mess, that hasn't stopped the parties' getting political in their response. And Gordon Brown, Britain's already browbeaten Prime Minister, has had the worst of it. In response to publication Tuesday of his party's own profligate claims, Conservative leader David Cameron was quick to sound contrite. Tory MPs, he thundered, "appalled" by the detail, would be made to cough up for "excessive" claims. Rules...
