Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Dems blame McCain’s plan…or lack of plan…for bailout deal collapse

Chris “Countrywide” Dodd:

Republican presidential nominee John McCain was blamed for de-railing negotiations by blindsiding lawmakers with his support for an alternative plan.

The ‘very contentious’ meeting broke up after Republican leaders said they had to go back to their rank-and-file to discuss the new proposal…

After the hour-long White House meeting, [Dodd] said: ‘What has happened here is that we have spent seven straight days to find a rescue plan for the economy.

‘What this looked like was a rescue plan for John McCain. To be distracted for two to three hours by political theatre doesn’t help.’

Democrats said the Republicans were on board with the deal until Mr McCain intervened an injected presidential politics into the situation.

Hmmm…that’s not what Reid says:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) completely dismissed McCain’s role in the meeting, saying that he spoke last, said nothing important and had little to do with the negotiations.

So which is it?  Did McCain offer no plan, or did he offer a plan that blew the bailout deal (you know, the one that had only four House Republicans agreeing to it?) out of the water?  Geez, pick a line of attack (regardless of whether it’s another typical liberal lie) and stick with it!  You lefties can’t seem to stick to your story lines, can you?

Author of Fannie/Freddie mess ridicules McCain’s attempt to clean up said mess

Barney “Prostitution Ring” Frank, chief author of the Fannie/Freddie collapse, thought it would be a hoot to snark on Ol’ Man Mac.

House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.), a chief author of the economic rescue package, doesn’t think much of John McCain’s late entry into the negotiations.

“McCain is Andy Kaufman in his Mighty Mouse costume – ‘Here I Come to Save the Day,’” Frank said as he left a Thursday morning caucus meeting with House Democrats, saying the Republican presidential candidate’s decision to enter the mix “is not helpful.”

“He hasn’t been involved,” Frank said. “He doesn’t know anything about it.” 

Mushmouth certainly knows something about it: it’s largely Frank’s fault that Fannie/Freddie are in the shape that they are in today!  That buttmuch’s comments would be akin to me breaking the cookie jar, then teasing you for sweeping it up.

Stick to show tunes, Barney.  Economic reality isn’t your forté.

Bette Midler prevents global catastrophe

From Sky News:

Singer Bette Midler has told Sky News she is quitting touring – to help save the planet.

That just might do it!  :lol:

Exit question: Does Pelosi get protective over her own “I’m gonna save the planet” territory?

Quote of the day, “Hugo’s socialist salvation” edition

From Venezuelan tinpot Hugo Chavez:

“Socialism is the only route to the salvation of the world.”

Kinda goes hand in hand with the whole “Obamessiah” motif, eh?

Just a reminder that Hugo doesn’t want McCain to win, hoping instead that Obama wins.  Just sayin’…

Government-run health care fiascos

Right here in the good ol’ USofA.  From MSNBC:

The government paid more than $1 billion in questionable Medicare claims for medical supplies that showed little relation to a patient’s condition, including blood glucose strips for sexual impotence and special diabetic shoes for leg amputees, congressional investigators say.

Billions more in taxpayer dollars may have been wasted over the last decade because the government-run health program for the elderly and disabled paid out claims with blank or invalid diagnosis codes, such as a “?” or “zzzzz.” Medicare officials say even smiley-face icons could have been accepted. …

And you leftards want the feds to manage our health care?  No thanks!

Quote of the day, “Impeached judge-turned-moonbat” edition

Ooooooo-kay then.  From impeached former judge, and current Congressman, Alcee Hastings (D-FL):

“If Sarah Palin isn’t enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention,” Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida said at a panel about the shared agenda of Jewish and African-American Democrats Wednesday. Hastings, who is African-American, was explaining what he intended to tell his Jewish constituents about the presidential race. “Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through,” Hastings added as the room erupted in laughter and applause.

Oh, if I had a nickel for every time I thought “Who cares about 12-pointers?  I wanna score me a Jew mount!” while I was deer hunting, I…well, I wouldn’t even have a nickel.

Black Democrats just can’t do any wrong in their constituents’ eyes, can they?

Obama sleeps through 3 AM call

Great analysis by Ed Morrissey.  Excerpt:

It also puts an interesting light on his offer to Barack Obama to return with him [McCain] to Washington. Having been told of Paulson’s request, McCain decided to return — but then offered to have Obama return with him in order to make it an election-neutral decision.  McCain even offered to suspend the campaign.  Obama refused, and McCain went back by himself. Bush then summoned Obama back to keep Democrats from backing away from a bill they have supported over the last few days.  If McCain can succeed in getting changes in the bill with the points he has been making from the campaign trail, he can put his own stamp on this bill and have yet another example of his work as a crisis manager and bipartisan reformer.

Obama: He was against returning to Washington to do his current job…before he was for it (or, more accurately, shamed into it).  He’s just not ready to lead.

More on the Obama-Ayers connetion

Excerpt from NRO:

It appears that Ayers took a keen interest in Obama at a time when Obama was nothing more than, as Stanley puts it, “a young and inexperienced lawyer.” Why? There are tens of thousands of young and inexperienced lawyers in Chicago. What did Ayers see in (or hear from) Obama that caused the former to take such an interest in him? 

Stanley shows that there’s a reasonable probability that Ayers plucked Obama from obscurity to chair the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (“CAC”). Then, after working together on the CAC and directing millions to radical organizations, Ayers hosted Obama’s political coming out party. That certainly looks more like a mentor-protégé relationship than a tenuous relationship between two guys who happen to live in the same neighborhood.

The story of a why an unrepentant terrorist has such a close relationship with a presidential candidate should have reporters swarming over the Obama campaign demanding answers.

Nope…no liberal media bias!

Headline of the day

It’s a blog post headline at Ace, and it drips with snark:

Obama: I Am Such a Leader That I Will Defer to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi As to Whether I Actually Need to Show Up To Do My Job As Senator

Heh.

Jim Johnson still advising Obama

All while The One complains of McCain adviser Rick Davis.  Go figure.

Pot, meet kettle.  Oops…that’s probably racist code, huh?
