It looks like a deal was worked out, Ian….!

Hey Ian!

I think John can kiss it now, Ian. He’s royally pissed off the NYT.

no grandpa simpson for president

i want one who actually knows wtf he is talking about

repuke saying we need to look and see where we are on paper tomorrow, so there is still a chance the pukes will back out. One can only hope.

I wouldn’t want John McCain to be the cranky old bastard down the street, let alone the President of the United States of America.

Get the Fuck off my Political Landscape Old Man!!

I don’t see any House Repugs milling nearby…!

Have no fear they are there.

Can someone summarize what’s in the thing?

I don’t own a teevee

and nut-job-supreme Eric Cantor (R-VA) hd a big part in it? We’re sooo fucked. Any sane or halfway self-aware human being would be afraid to show his face in public after Tweety roasted his ass a coupla times recently.

And hey, Senator Gregg - I apologize for not having swung by your Florida beach compound to dump my daily load of cigarette butts lately. But - I’ll be back!

Right! I prefer no deal to anything this bunch of bozos comes up with.

That’s what passes for committee assignments on the R side - total idiots on the Banking and Finance Committee.

Sigh.

Yeah there were some pukes. It’s not on paper as of yet. The puke said they will have to see what “it” looks like once on paper as if something magical will happen overnight. There are some loose end to tie up. They will announce an agreement in the morning.

*sigh* Yep Blunt was there…! 8-(

loky, basically, they said they’ve reached a deal, however, nobody’s laying out the details and it isn’t written down, they’re going present it to their respective caucuses in the morn…!

Digg IT Pups!!

John is a plain old man who has far outlived his usefulness!

After reading Ian’s previous post, I don’t know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or smash my head into the wall.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we need McCheese to parachute in again.

Done. Thank you.

That’s funny. I had the same thought. Where the hell is McNutjob when you need him?

I’ll even loan him my parachute…! ;-)

OMG: Have you seen this…

Maybe this was why McOldDude was so mad at Obama. If this is true this is very very funny.

Thanks CT.

If it’s not ‘on paper’ then it could change completely by morning. That’s ridiculous! They will spend all day tomorrow arguing again about ‘that’s not they way it was - is too - nuh uh!’

Stooopid!

dugg and thanks

Miss InContinence to the rescue! I gotta backtrack and see how many of y’all bashed the incredibly transparent grandstanding of Rep. Boner fighting for the wealthiest “taxpayers” in the land.

Why?? Just so he can throw a monkey wrench into the agreement again??

Me too! Can we stage a grab and throw him out the window of his condo so he can blow it up again?

Good evening Ian, are ready to apply for dual citizenship? America needs you.
Main Street and Middle Class are two positives for Obama campaign. How will mainstreet be helped (where America does biz) and how will Middle Class fair under McSame. The trends show the Neocon policies have deeply hurt thr middleclass and the Main Street economy.
These two memes seems most powerful to me and easy to understand but loaded with meaning. Looks like they played big in the polls on the first debate.
When McSame whipped our his pen (planned) a said “I will veto any bill with spending…” I was floored. Was anyone else?

Ya mean the one that the moths have been having for dinner?

exactly

YES!!!

No agreement would be better than anything these idiots can come up with. Whatever they decide, you can bet all us lowly taxpayers are getting scroooooood!

Well, it ain’t ‘golden’…! ;-)

One adjustment - they are not idiots, IMO. They are self-serving criminals.

If the patriots had $178,000, they would have been escorted up in a heartbeat!

The so-called ‘experts’ are the people who got us into this mess in the first place.

The rest of them know even less about the economy than my dog.

And these are the people who are trying to fix a mess that no one knows even exactly what it is, or how much it is going to cost?

Someone over at Treasury even admitted - ON THE RECORD - that the $700 billion was just picked out of the air.

They haven’t a clue!!

He pissed off the Repukes so bad with his grandstanding the negotiations collapsed.
Bring it again old man.
There isn’t one goddamn thing in that mess for me and you except pain and suffering.
Fuck ‘em.

Thank you for your editing services. I agree completely.

One adjustment - they are not idiots, IMO. They are self-serving, unaccountable criminals.
my bad

“I will veto any bill with spending

He did make sure to exclude defense spending though. Beside the fact that he’s demented, he’s also a frikin war monger. His solution to all problems is bomb bomb bomb… (insert country here).

McSlime doesn’t understand…

that discretionary spending is only about 22% of the budget nowdays.

And the Pentagon budget is so bloated - we spend more on ‘defense’ then then ENTIRE WORLD combined. Sure could use some cuts there…

The fact that they’re not releasing any details, imho would appear to support Ian’s worst fears.

yeap
lie, delay, hide, lie some more

Are the unions and the black caucus joining with the wingnuts to block this bailout of the fabulously wealthy?

Yep, reminiscent of the FISA sellout…!

How did you like the way McPain threw out the line in the debate last night:”how about freezing all federal spending?” like hey, let’s brainstorm about my econ policy right here during the debate. Give me some good answers I can take credit for on the fly.

Makes me feel reeeeal secure. What a loose cannon!

I think it’s fair to assume that Paulson and Co have scared the shit out of the Dems. Again.

An old pen at that.

I just have to comment about the ‘bear DNA’ that McCain is always ripping.

While it may have been an ‘earmark’ - it was required spending under the ESA in order to help determine the actual population of grizzly bears in the Glacier Park ecosystem. Part of the ESA requires population counts so as to be able to measure the success of protection efforts.

Researchers have been stymied since the grizzlies were placed on the endangered list about how to count them since they are so reclusive, and their territories are so large. This study was ground-breaking and gave wildlife biologists a giant database of DNA that can be used to track the bears over time, determine breeding habits, territory sizes and food needs over time. Cheap at twice the price.

Getting the hell out of Iraq would save a shit load of money. There is going to be alot of pain with this “deal” and it’s going to come at the expense of the middle class. I am really pissed again. Spit…..

nahant, I Dugg your Digg!

A grizzley bear would make a better president than John McCain.

the middle class is an illusion

its just the haves and the barely hanging ons

Yeah, I loved that one. Let’s see…do I have any more good ideas on how to run a $10 trillion economy. Throw darts at the wall?

Pin the tail on my butt?

Ask Cindy to do the Google thingy?

Maybe Joe Lieberman will whisper in my ear?

Yeah, they at least know when to stay out of things.

bye bye bluebeard upstairs

Uh oh, here’s a little background on the backroom deal…

Pelosi wants a deal by tonight

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) just told a group of reporters gathered outside her office that she would like negotiators to produce an agreement on the economic rescue package by tonight so members had time to digest it, Politico’s Marty Kady reports from the scrum.

Pelosi made her remarks as the negotiators streamed into her office, and that group is much bigger than expected; instead of just the four principals, a number of other prominent Democrats, including Ways and Means Chairman Charles B. Rangel (N.Y.), Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (Mont.), Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad (N.D.) and New York Sen. Chuck Schumer also entered the meeting.

This leaves House Minority Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri and New Hampshire Sen. Judd Gregg severely outnumbered as the only Republicans in the room. Oh yeah, and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. But he’s been at loggerheads with the House GOP for the last week, so he they might not be singing from the same songbook on this one.

Digg site doen’t work when I try it. Got a simple set of guidelines for digging? Please e-mail. Thank You.

they get $700 billion from us they give us debt about the same. A double whammy how do we pay the holders of that debt. That has never been addressed?

newton speaks for me.

Can someone summarize what’s in the thing?

I don’t own a teevee
