Senate's plan: let's bribe a few congressmen with billions more dollars

Incredible. If this thing passes, there will be hell to pay. Mark my words. |

Ugh. This is painful to watch.

They don't even see the need to pretend they're being principled. They're just telling the press, "We're going to go buy off enough of those recalcitrant ones."
Where are they going to get the money? Record deficits, so I guess the thinking is, a trillion here, a trillion there, who cares? I guess a people does get the government it deserves.

I listened to McCain on NPR this morning defending the bailout. He sounded so awful. Right now, I really hate him. He has become the face of this bailout, and that is probably the worst political blunder I have seen in my lifetime. Screw him.

The Corner posted an alleged partial list of some of the earmarks in this bill, and asks, "Isn’t this in John McCain’s wheelhouse?"

Is this even constitutional? Revenue bills are supposed to originate in the House, not the Senate. The House rejected their bill. Any new bailout bill needs to be voted on first by the House.
Am I missing something?
