Now I know how Elvis Presley felt when he shot his television! Watching Barney Frank (D-MA) and Chris Dodd (D-CT) pontificate about how they are going to save the country in it’s time of financial crisis made me nauseous.

"Sen. Dodd has been rewarded in the 2008 election cycle with $7.65 million in campaign contributions
he took in $11.7 million in all — from the securities, insurance, real-estate and commercial-banking industries,
according to his latest Federal Election Commission filing posted at opensecrets.org.
... AIG, $224,678; Bear Stearns, $205,600; ... Goldman Sachs, $175,600; Morgan Stanley, $155,000 ... Merrill Lynch, $134,950 .... Lehman Brothers, $128,400 ....
.... Sen. Dodd also tops the list of members of Congress who took campaign cash from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since 1989.

Sen. Barack Obama, the self-styled agent of change, is a distant second at $126,000 and Sen. John Kerry is third at $111,000.

Whats discouraging is that instead of watching them being thrown out of the senate we’re hoping they’re not allowed to “fix”, meaning lard up the bailout plan with goodies for their constituents, the problem they themselves created.
