House members who vote based on credit and stock marketsa are morons.
 

Barney Frank said on NPR this morning that House members aren't being bought off. He said they're alarmed by response of the credit and stock markets to the House's prior refusal to approve the bailout.

Anyone voting based on a snapshoot of these volatile markets is a moron. Moreover, has anyone considered that the volatility is itself manifestation of self-fulfilling prophesy by the troubled bankers and our political leaders?

Morons.

the level of lying and deception and false proclamations of courage are astounding.

amerika is dead.

Boy, this bald-faced buying of votes with pork and special interest additions absolutely turns my stomach.

The Conservative Revolution had been on life support for some time.

It is now officially stiff and dead and stinking.

Frank's interview was full of thinly veiled awful subtexts. He quoted Mark Twain on Richard Wagner's music, "it's better than it sounds," saying that so too the bailout bill is better than it sounds. Hillary has to "hold her nose," Frank admits the bill on its face is apalling. (He also doesn't know how to pronounce Wagner's name; he said Wagner like the actor Robert Wagner.) They know this is ugly.
