Today's news couldn't get much worse. The banking bail out plan fails because Nancy Pelosi couldn't keep her big mouth shut and decided to blame the administration and Republicans for being the cause of the banking crisis immediately before the vote. Normally, that kind of nonsense is worth criticism and a blog entry. But when things are down you simply have to look at the humor in any bad situation. In essence, life threw us a whole lot of lemons today so I'm going to make some lemonade.
At the end of the bailout vote the numbers were 227 Nay, 207 Yea and 1 not voting/absentee. At the moment before the voting closed two votes changed from Yea to Nay. In other words, two brave souls saw that the bill was going down and they wanted to look good in the eyes of the voters in their districts. Nobody would know they pulled a John Kerry and voted for it before they voted against it so they pulled the trigger. You got to love the courage that they showed by changing their votes. This is the type of nonsense that got us into this situation in the first place. I'd love to get the names of the two representatives so I can post their pictures because they belong on a wall of shame.
