The bill, in its form as voted on today by the House, was junk.
I'm damned glad these morons in Congress finally found something they can split real hairs over, instead of being partisan losers...
........oh wait. The House Repubs just voted against it because mean ol' Nancy Pelosi gave a "partisan" speech on the House floor before the vote.
NICE OF YOU ASSHOLES TO SHOW UP. WE WERE WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO YA!
That's right.. instead of voting on the lacking of merits in this bill, and there was plenty of leftover unitary executive CRAP in this bill.
They overlooked the fact that the President, who in a few short months will be a Democrat, has complete authority over who would be sitting on the oversight board since the entire board is made up of presidential nominees.
They overlooked the fact that the $700 billion dollars potentially to be used in this plan is not a loan which would be paid back with copious amounts of interest, but a straight-up we-give-you-the-green-and-we-take-the-crap-securities GIVEAWAY OF TAX DOLLARS.
They overlooked the fact that the bill was written mostly by members of their own party, and that the Dems in Congress gave away far more than they got on this deal. What else is new though, the House Dems are a bunch of pussies when it comes to negotiating anything with Bush anyways.
But that Nancy Pelosi.. wow now she's a real deal breaker because she hurt our pwecious wittle feewings!
Give me a fucking break. That has to be the lamest excuse for political hackery I've ever heard, especially at a time when it's not fucking necessary!
Jeez you're like... you're like.. a bunch of fat rabbits eating pot leaves!
So yes, we're happy to see that this particular bailout plan didn't go through and something else, that hopefully has some true oversight in it and doesn't give away the damn farm, comes along and passes. But please, save us the fuckin' S.O.B. stories and partisan bullshit for another time. We need people who actually give a shit right now.
