Chuckie wouldn't head home when there are cameras to preen in front of. Besides, the Jewish holidays don't start until Oct. 8th, right? Come to think of it...why the rush to get it done by Monday/Tuesday for the Jewish lawmakers to get home for Yom Kippur if it doesn't start until a week later?

Rosh Hashanah begins on Tuesday.

Boehner is so full of it. "We don't want to support this bill, but we'll vote for it." The justification stinks. We don't know if it will work, but it reduces taxpayer risk. And if the bill results in profit, we'll share it with the public.

At any rate, it's a fait accompli. Read the fine print, the bill is not what it's represented to be (bills rarely are).

“This is such a load of steaming scheiss. No way can a bill of this magnitude be even close to a good answer be decided in such a short time. They all need to stand together, tell Bush and Pelosi to get bent. Let the market do what has to happen and rebuild from the bottom up. I am sick of the news idiots saying the government is paying. No - WE ARE PAYING. McCain needs to lead and be forceful. Tell W where to stick his plan and Pelosi to STFU.” You should send that to McCain! You are right, and if McCain and the Republicans cave on this, the next President will be Obama. This is the way I see it.

If McCain doesn't vote against it he's going down with the Republicans. This IS the issue. Nothing else matters.

Would he do this to our troops?

By selling out to 0, he has done this to our troops. There are no words strong enough to condemn this.

I don’t agree. Something has to be done before the market opens Monday. The only way we can keep the bill from being a complete piece of crap is to keep the Rs involved.

However, it will be hard to keep the blame from going to the Rs and the credit from going to the Ds. The media will see to that.

I guess they could have gotten on their planes and gone home, but that would have been political suicide too.

There’s no good answer. Congress has to do something or we will be in a world of hurt.

Oh...nevermind.

I know these people are tired, but these guys don't look like their hearts are in this.

Bush is speaking at 7:30 AM EST to try to calm the situation before the markets open. That much makes sense to me.
