Ya know, she probably shouldn't have taken the opportunity to put the boots to the GOP before the vote to save the US from the crisis caused by the GOP.

However, for the rank and file GOP to refuse to follow THEIR President, THEIR congressional leadership, and THEIR Presidential candidate and drive the economic bus off a cliff because either their feelings were hurt or it seemed politically expedient to do so - now that's a stupid cunt.



I don't think that the rebel Repubs just got offended and rejected it in a fit of pique. Such massive state intervention is anathema to them - they only pledged to vote yes under huge pressure from the administration. When people who don't believe in bailouts are having their arms twisted to vote for one, it's not a good idea to taunt them about it immediately before the vote. That could easily have swung a dozen Republican votes.

Of course, they're fucking incompetent idiots for not appreciating the necessity of this action, but I can forgive that more easily than Pelosi's pathetic point-scoring at an inappropriate moment.

And FWIW, you really can't put all the blame for this crisis on the GOP. The market poison originated here.
