Pelosi's Speech

After consulting with my experts, Frank and Gary the bartenders (bartenders make the best economists, trust me, they're the first to know), I now believe that Nancy Pelosi was way out of line. It was too partisan at a critical time.



After all, this was a Republican bill, initially drafted by a Republican administration, bailing out, initially, Republican Wall Street Fat Cats, from the Republican clusterfuck they created, enabled by Republican laissez-faire deregulation policies, programs and legislation.

So the Republicans might be a tad sensitive to the notion that for the good of the country, they would have to hoist the $700,000,000,000.00 (+) tab on the Average Joe taxpayers. However, without this bill, we are all now so screwed, so it was not the time for the Democrats to tweak the frazzled nerves of their twittering Republican compatriots across the aisle.

Even the President Bush gave a 3 minute speech to help sway the masses to support his bill, and Li'l Johnny McCain "suspended" his campaign to ride in on his white horse, storm the White House gate and twist some arms show some bipartisanship. I know this is true, he said so on my TeeVee. He gathered up the leaders in that White House Conference room for some bipartisan mavericky "straight talk" and said...

Nothing.

So shame on you Nancy, you heartless "San Francisco" liberal. How could you be so mean, picking at their last GOP nerve like that. Hey America! Call your Republican Congressmen. They need a hug today.

However, Barney Frank, you go!

Update:
OMG! This must be serious! Prez Bush gave another 3 minute speech!

I Need a Cocktail

A couple of roommates, a beer heiress wife with multiple homes, jewels and expensive gowns, and stock in all the liquor companies 'cos they're the only ones who are going to make any money. I gotta pawn that bling

Boehner's Boner

That Bonehead Rep John Boehner (R-Fantasyland) sez it's Pelosi's fault 'cos she gave a partisan speech, driving off Republican votes.

Which means, Republicans voted against the best interest of their country because their feelings were hurt. Pathetic.

Barney Frank nails 'em:

Barney Frank's Frankness: "Give me the 12 (R) names and I will go talk uncharacteristically nicely to them, and tell them what wonderful people they are, and maybe now they will think about the country."

We Are So Screwed!

And the CryBaby Republicans did it, again.

As Atrios sez: Lucy just yanked the football, again.

Thanks for all the help, Wise Ol', Experienced Man of Washington, Li'l Johnny McCain. "High-o, Silver!" You rode in on your white house to save the day. Key in William Tell Overture.

"High-O Silver, Awaaaaaaayyy!!!!!"

Sure liked how your influence cleared the way. How can you reach across party lines when you can't even influence your own assholes.

And, uh, Johnnie, How's your 401K, doin'? Oh that's right... You don't have one. Well at least your wife has some houses she can sell, if you can find them.
