The only group more incompetent than the New York Mets bullpen: Congress
Monday, September 29, 2008 at 02:49PM The United States Congress lived up to its reputation as a do-nothing body populated by world-class buffoons.
Somehow -- unbelievably -- the House of Representatives managed to sink the bailout plan. With the economy teetering on a deep recession -- some say depression -- these guys couldn't resist the urge to sabotage it in the name of partisan politics.
I have no clue how they expect to face their constituents knowing that they just torpedoed the economy, but since most of them have two faces, I guess it shouldn't be too difficult.
The House Republicans are blaming Pelosi; Pelosi is blaming the Republicans; the economy is tanking; and nobody has a clue when -- or if -- any of this will be sorted out. House Republicans are playing an extraordinarily high stakes game of poker -- and losing. If the Congress fails to pass anything, and the economy plunges into a deep recession, the House Republicans will have to explain to the American public how this was "good for main street."
And John McCain's job just got that much tougher.

the way I see this mess as it relates to McCain - given that this is THE presidential issue of the day and through remainder of campaign, Joe Q America, when deciding his vote can't help but think McCain is part and parcel of those elected officals that have mucked this up. He has been there 26 years, he is tied to (for good or bad) these kinds of dommsday stories in a way Obama will never be. It can only hurt him in the polls, and even more so that he "suspended" his campaign to straighten out this mess. That backfired him at the worst possible time.
To me - and yes I am obviously in the bag for Obama - this Wall Street debacle put the final nail in his coffin.
This is my favorite - "The House Republicans are blaming Pelosi; Pelosi is blaming the Republicans."
CNN tells me "About 60% of Democrats and fewer than 33% of Republicans voted for the measure." Naturally, the Republicans blame Pelosi.
any suggestions on good places to watch the debate in midtown on thursday?
Thank you for your sharing!
