“This crowd couldn’t make sausage”
“The 228-205 defeat reflects badly on all concerned, starting with the Democrats who run the House. The majority party is responsible for assembling a majority vote, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi failed in that fundamental task.Her highly partisan speech on the floor -- blaming "right-wing ideology of anything goes, no supervision, no discipline, no regulation" for the financial distress -- is no excuse for Republicans to vote no. But it is indicative of the way she has governed for the past two years -- like Tom DeLay without the charm. The cynics are saying Ms. Pelosi deliberately tanked the bill by giving 95 Democrats a pass, knowing failure would hurt John McCain, and given her track record we can see why people would believe it.”
That’s harsh. Even I don’t think Nancy would sink that low. Destroy the economy to get Obama elected? Hmmm. Well, maybe she would.

Actually, that is wrong. Factually. She did deliver a majority of the Democrats. She had nothing to do with a majority of the Republicans voting no. And, I do not believe for a second that she tanked the bill.
Maybe Conservatives are angry that McCain got the nomination. Maybe they're hoping that in 4 years they can get a conservative Republican into the White House. Maybe THEY sabotaged McCain. I don't think that is any more far-fetched then the Pelosi conspiracy theory.
Unless you're arguing that the House Republicans have the mindset of petulant 8 year olds, and Peolosi used that to her advantage. Hmmm.... now that you mention it....
Go argue with WSJ--it's their editorial. The woman was really unhinged for someone trying to get something passed.
LOL.. well, you posted it. I guess if you don't want me to comment on the things you post, feel free to tell me so. Or... if you're only interested in part of the article, I would suggest that you crop out the parts you don't need.
