On a secret ballot, the bailout bill would have passed the House.
85% of House members read the bailout bill.
75% of House members comprehended the bill.
10% of House members never read any bills.
25% of House members gave no thought at all to the merits of the bill.
97% of House members–bill or no bill!-- believe their constituents are extremely fortunate to be represented by such as themselves.
The pusillanimity of Congressional Democrats during the Bush years has made it impossible for the public to take them seriously during a crisis.
On economic matters, responsible Republicans are almost extinct. "Free market" ideologues and the remnants of Delay’s K Street gang are fighting for control of the party.
A Democratic president who thinks he can pass good legislation by working closely with Republicans is misguided.
Members of Congress, for a period of one year, should refrain from making any public statements referencing the wholly imaginary legislative prowess of their colleagues. The following words and phrases are particularly grating in this context, and may not be used: stellar, outstanding, "reach across the aisle," tireless, thankless, bipartisan, nonpartisan, "through the wee hours," stalwart, extraordinary, "the American people," hard-working, "strong leadership of ____," stewards, "We’ll stay here as long as it takes," selfless, backbreaking, and yeoman.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is incompetent. She can’t count votes and she can’t give a good floor speech. Who’s next?
