Well, it doesn't say much for Republicans if they will, in a snit, do the wrong thing out of spite.
Or perhaps Pelosi didn't realize how much the GOP in Congress LOATHES Bush Jr...all she had to do was remind them of how he has nearly destroyed this country, and the Republicans said "No way, I'm not going to trust him again." I think the real reason for the complete detachment of the rank-and- filer GOP politicians in Congress and the congressional GOP leadership is that the "leadership" no longer leads. This wasn't a defection. It was a coup, a huge vote of no confidence in Bush, Cheney, McCain and the GOP congressional leadership. --------- On Sep 30, 2:10 am, "d.b.baker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > [Q] - Note: I think "assclown" is the term Nancy Pelosi prefers. > Anyhow, I'm thinking the answer is about $700 billion. > > Oh, and I found the following headline in CNN's dumpster: Pelosi's > uplifting speech unites Congress behind the Bailout. > > The transcript of Pelosi's speech -- which blamed the mortgage > meltdown on Bush, Rethuglicans, Cheney, Rove, Reagan, Sarah Palin, > radio talk-show hosts, bible-wielding Pennsylvanians and Walker Texas > Ranger -- is something for the ages.
