Is your tent big enough for my vote? Rakish, slightly used 79-year-old Senator seeks new political party for fun, games, and an uncontested primary.

I just read an extraordinary NYTimes article. Digby also has weighed in on it here.

Let me see if I have this straight: last autumn Hanky Paulson came to Congress to beg, plead, extol Congress to give him $750 billion RIGHT NOW, this minute, no questions asked, or the American economy as we know it would cease to exist. Congress with some reservations but few restrictions, gave him the money.

Inspired by SusanG's diary, with shaky rhymes, and profoundest apologies to the original artists:

“I can’t get no (intervention)”
(American people to US government):

… I’m watchin’ my TV
And a man comes on and tells me
How the bankers get money for free
But I can’t get a dime cuz I didn’t steal
100 million G’s….

I can’t get no…

I didn't think I would write that headline. I am among the many who have begun to wonder about Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's competence. But I agree with Calchala's recent diary about keeping him (regardless of whether this is unpopular). Here's why:

Congressional leaders today signaled that they were ready to move forward with the impeachment of President-elect Barack Obama for non-commission of his duties during the transition.

“I think it’s clear that this country desperately needed a President-elect who could pull us out of the hole we’re in,” said Senate Majority Harry Reid, D-Spineless. “President-elect Obama has clearly failed in that duty.”

I am astonished and outraged that 35 GOP members of the Senate could play so fast and loose with the American economy. I have not always been a fan of Detroit automakers and their obstinate refusal to consider higher mileage standards. But the $14 billion bailout that 35 Republicans scuttled tonight wasn't about these companies' mistakes. It was about trying to shore up two companies with millions of workers. It was about trying to shore up our economy. It was about taking SOME measures to try to reform these industries. It was about companies, and unions, and Democrats (with a few Republicans), and even the worst White House ever coming together to try to save this country, our economy, and our workers.

Except the infamous 35.

I am shocked, saddened and deeply disturbed. So.... I'd like to wreck them. Read below:
