Epic Fail

Steven Benen on the politics of the failed bailout vote today. There's a lot about this mess I don't understand at all, but common sense tells me that when little Mr. Pissypants starts stamping his feet and screaming for something Now Now Now Now Now, it's not a bad idea to stop, take a deep breath, and look the situation over a little more carefully.

"Mr. Pissypants"?

Like that narrows it down.

At least they can blame it on Pelosi. Didn't you hear? She apparently has mind control over lawmakers and can will them to vote any way, with her speeches. Wonder why it didn't work in the past.

Odd!

They are all acting like a bunch of cry babies because they KNOW that their constituents are holding accountable at a time when it really counts.

Imagine that - the representatives actually listening to the voters. They should do this more often.

They didn't have to listen when they passed the evil bankruptcy bill or the evil yes-you-can-raise-interest-rates-to-a hundred percent-if-you-want-to legislation.

Damned hypocrites.
