The rump group of republicans have a proposal that stinks so bad, even on ice, that its aburd (they proposed elimination of the capital gains tax as the cure, yay!) and in the end, after McCain was laughed out of town, the adults took back over, and all will be relatively well. OK, the bailout won't be such a giveaway, we're gonna buy the mortgages, and the fact is, the mortgages are worth more to a long term investor than to a speculator, so its not really fraudulent to pay more for them than they are worth in the hands of the people currently holding them. They will have value and most of the money will be repaid, at worst, most, at best, there will be profit down the road. @lynnlightfoot: Nope, looking like I was wrong, McCain really did just blunder into town clueless, Lieberman met him at the airport, stuck his head up his ass, and stayed there for the whole 48 hours, while McCain careened around looking for a spotlight to steal.

They're dead set against government intervention in business, so they want a bunch of banks to go in on a private-sector solution. Ummm... A government-backed private-sector solution. We still get to spend $700 billion, but our chaste remains unsullied. @lynnlightfoot: From what I read, it’s not really Geezer but a GOP rump group that’s holding things up.

If so, that's possibly the only good thing he's had any part in for ever so long. @Prommie: So maybe, just maybe, when all is said and done (a state of affairs that never arrives), Psychogeezer’s grandstanding may have made room for some light and air to enter the negotiations?

Neanderthal version: Bush-Paulson plan is extortion-theft. Dems going along with it with cosmetic concessions was horrible spineless lemming-like move. McCain is horrible old suckbag dramaqueen self aggrandizing asshole, but if he makes new plan come, with completely different approach, would be good from policy perspective. Dems dig own grave allowing selves to get railroaded by Bush-Paulson into even thinking of throwing a trillion dollars at the fucks. How fucking dumb you need to be to let republicans paint selves as opposing the "Bush-Democrat giveaway?" My take. Neanderthal version: Bush-Paulson plan is extortion-theft.

Let's face it - Nojo was CP, with an occaisional assist from me and a few others (I've been working like two dogs, but it's no excuse). Megan is gone. I'm happy to be here.
