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!
