"if Paulson pays too little, financial analysts agree it might fail to convince leery lenders to open up their wallets and start making much-needed short-term loans that are necessary for businesses to operate"

Just take from them like you took from us, Paulieboy.

Or would the frosty stares over dirty martinis at the country club be too much for you to bear?

Let's rework that to better fit reality.'

Lenders won't start making loans until Paulson opens up his wallet. In other words, we got you by the shorts, will make the economy scream and we know you got the cash, now, and after all Hank, you are OUR buddy. Right? Right? So hand it over MF****ker or da country gets in da head!

I'm sure it's phrased differently, but it's the same. Hey, when you are a street walking hoe, like the US government is, that's the way you get treated. You are a mess, you are broke, and you got's 'chil-dar-in' and ol'folk to take care of back at da crib. If $20 for a car load of frat boys is all you get....it's what you get.

The new Pimp, Barry, he'll be much better to sister Amerika.
