No it isn't. Boehner was on the TV, said the WH Dems and Paulson thought they were going to "roll him" (or words to that effect), but it didn't work. The Repubs walked out when the yelling got going from Frank, I think.
Karl Rove is a little po’d at Newt.
Taking up for his boss. WHere was Newt in 2005?
BOR is getting po’d with Rove.
BOR is mad that he did not get an candygram announcing the impending doom.
Rush told the story today of what happened at the WH but even though he explained it three times, I’m still confused.
Barny Frank, Nancy P, Reid....all the Dems....deferred to Barack when Dubya asked them their thoughts. As background, all day long there had been email correspondence from Paulson’s buddies at Goldman Sachs to the Obama campaign.
Obama went to the WH meeting with the intent of being the star. After his other cheaters deferred to the Mighty He, Barack allegedly asked Paulson if it was the House Republicans holding things up.
This comment caused a riot of well-tanned Republicans with shiny nails and spit-shined wing tips. I imagine this riot consisted of angrily raising eyebrows but I digress.
Anyway the WH meeting broke up and as Rush called it, Barack blew his chance.
Somehow that story seems to be missing components. I know that Boehnner (best tan of all the Reps in the House) felt he was being “rolled” but I don’t understand how or why.
Any thoughts?
