A day that I believe we will live to regret. A day that Senators and Congressmen will rewrite in their “recollections” (thankfully we have C-Span Archives). This is the Iraq War vote all over again. Scare the crap out of us, hand the Executive Branch a blank check, and then wait to see what happens. Congress waits… if all goes well, this is “a great bill we passed for the American People.” If all goes badly, “that bad, bad man George Bush caused the whole problem, then shoved this bill down our throat. We had no choice, and it’s all Bush’s fault.”

Liberals and Conservatives should both weep today.

The Bailout Bill of 08 passes, 263-171. Bush will sign it. My Congressman, Democrat Tim Walz, voted against the bill again. Thank you Conrgessman Walz. You deserve to be reelected.
