And thus we commence with the royal screw-ups by none other than our beloved Leader (Heil!) of the House, Nancy Pelousy. Disregarding all the flak the Republican side of Congress had already been receiving about blocking the passage of the economic bailout plan, or EESA, one would be led to believe that the speech immediately prior to the vote would have been filled with fanciful notions of bipartisan cooperation and Kumbaya while merrily handing the bill off to the Oval Office. No, instead, it appears ol' Nan had a horrendous hair day and someone tripped her on the way to the podium and she launched some nasty, thoughtless tirade against President Bush and any citizen with two brain cells to rub together. That gave Democrats more ammunition to blame the Republicans for the bill's failure, claiming that they should have not allowed their negative emotions to dissuade them from voting for it.
However, the Dems should look a little more closely at the vote tally. 133 Republicans voted no... but 95 Democrats did as well. And Barney Franks is railing on us for causing the bill to fail? I beg to differ.
Maybe Senator Obama should have called these 95 dissenters and used his Obamessiah mind-changing powers on them. He is the One who came up with this bill and inserted it into the minds of his congressional minions, after all.
