Yes, it was a sell out but they will get away with it because too many people join you in letting it pass. And, don't imply Rush winked at this, here is what he actually said: I can't tell you how flipping mad what happened yesterday in the House of Representatives makes me. I've been alive 58 years. I've been paying attention to things since I was 12, and I've been through the House Post Office and the House Bank Scandals. But when I saw that happen yesterday, and all week leading up to yesterday, rivals the most outrageous dishonest, disingenuous, near-criminal act I have ever seen. The House of Representatives is enacting legislation to tax a certain number of people at 90% on bonuses they were paid, acting as though they had no idea this had happened.

It was in the stimulus bill that was written in Nancy Pelosi’s damned office! Those bonuses were exempted, limits on those bonuses were exempted. The bonuses were known when they wrote the stimulus bill. It happened in Nancy Pelosi’s office, and Barney Frank helped write it. They passed a law, and they sent it to the president, and good old Special Olympics- teleprompter Obama signed the damn thing. Would never have happened, had they not exempted it. It was in the bill, it was in the law, and they act yesterday like they got blindsided. And they act yesterday like somebody pulled a trick on them. I detest these people. If the mob is mad, if the mob is angry — go ahead and be mad at AIG, if you want, if you want to follow popular sentiment.

But if you're not mad at the US House of Representatives and the United States Senate, if you are not fit to be tied over what they are doing, the assault that they are making on individual liberty, the founding of this country... They are acting as potentates with limitless power. Most of them are incompetent. That's where your anger ought to be directed, and the chance you have to vent your anger is 2010.
