Also, I heard that many of the AIG execs who got bonuses are foreigners and live outside our borders.

Here’s the SF Chron on the “livid” Pelosi. Note the overwhelming, ah, annoyance on the part of the commenters. Several of these people were blaming dandruff on GWB only moments ago….

If it’s the Senate’s fault (per Pelosi), then where was Charlie Rangel, Henry Waxman, and Obey? NONE of those people were in on the conference committee to see this happening?

Or….could it be that breaking a campaign promise to give 5days of review before signing, had $167million consequences?

We are being lead by a Clown Car Congress and Admini-straction…We all see your feigned outrage…You are deathly afraid that you really cant fool us. You are right, you cant fool us with your outrage about AIG when you dont even know what is in your friggin Stimulus Bill. And you want to get a $3.6Trillion dollar Social Engineering bill passed. You are to dumb to know that the gig is already up. You cant run a company you bought 80% interest in. You dont know how to run a company, since 95% of you clowns have never had to earn a real buck in running a real profitable enterprise. You will not and we cannot let the Clown Car Congress and Adminstration run a Socialized Medical Program, which would represent the goverment in charge of close to 16-18% of GDP. (3-4x bigger than the Pentagon’s share of GDP). You will not and we cannot let the Clown Car Congress and Administration a Socialized Cap and Tax Energy Program, which would socialize another 5-7% of GDP with Mother Nature Pelosi running the US into the ground. I have visions of a post-Green disaster, Mad Max kind of World, with leather-clad, SF-based Sean Penns in charge. You will not and cannot let the Clown Car Congress and Administration have more liberal influence on education to preach and teach SF and Hyde Park vetted subjects, with do-nothing union teachers. Here are the stars of the Clown Car Company: Chris Dodd- Secretary of Lying and Mortgage Fraud Barney Frank- Secretary of “the other side of the aisle did it” Adminstration- I thought Barney was the “other side” kind of guy already. Mother Nature Pelosi- Secretary of the “I will get every last dollar of bail-out money for Socialist California” Department….no wonder she was on a pogo stick has Obama delivered his speech on Porkulus and his budget to Congress. She wants to open the borders to the United State of Cali-Mexico, the 3rd largest Socialist Nation in the World and buy everybody a free education, free health care, free oxygen, free condoms, and state sponsored octo-births, as long as she can hijack bailout money from the rest of us. Charlie Rangel – Head of taxation and tax cheating Administration Barack Obama- Head and Chief Executor of the Obama Head Fake Institute- -where you promise to cover all veterns health care, as long as the vets pay for it -where you promise to meet with the loyal opposition for TV, but allow Mother Nature to write the Stimulus. Omnibus and the 2010 budget without even reading it -where you say that the 18 month pullout of Iraq sounds about right, since the heavy lifting is already accomplished by people A LOT smarter than you. -where you promise no pork and going to go thru the budget line by line, then have to sign the Omnibus Bill in your secret bunker to avoid cameras and questions. -where you close GITMO as a showboat maneuver, without a real plan on what to do next -where you rail about FISA, then vote for it. -where you say on the way to LA that your plan for fixing health care, education and energy will help prevent bubbles and downturns…Mr President, please explain in specific economic terms how that works. You mean the oceans are not rising and the air is not cleansed. We are witnessing the beginnings of the revealing of the real Obama, who couldnt run a parking lot in downtown Chicago

Questions:

1. Who of these is the most expendable and bus worthy?

2. Will they get someone further down the trough to take the fall?

3. How much power does The One really have with these vultures? Is he Teflon-coated or merely being propped up by a combination of their good graces and his popularity with the media?

4. Will they simply bully their way through this with characteristic smears, BS and bluster and stay right where they are regardless of what anyone thinks and everybody stays where they are?

What gives you the right to call us “nutroots.” Perhaps you would be more comfortable at Huffington Post or Daily KOS or MoveOn. I’m sick of this. Go ahead and ban me, I don’t care.

Madam Speaker’s miffed at Dodd for exempting the bonuses

Why did Dodd slip that language in there about protecting bonuses?
Because Dodd is the biggest recipient of financial-industry donations.

And finally your answer:

Milton Friedman:
Congress can raise taxes because it can persuade a sizable fraction of the populace that somebody else will pay.

“I really don’t want the government to take over these businesses and start telling them everything about what they can do.” Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told ABC News in February, when asked about Obama’s proposed limits on executive compensation. Senator Jim DeMint, who attacked the original bailout bill as “pure socialism,” characterized executive pay caps as a dangerous government intervention. “I think it’s a sad day in America when the government starts setting pay, no matter how outlandish they [sic] are,” DeMint told the Huffington Post. “This is just a symptom of what happens when the government intervenes and we start controlling all aspects of the economy.” DeMint’s right-wing compatriot, James Inhofe, also equated limits on compensation with the demise of the American way. “As I was listening to [Obama] make those statements I thought, is this still America? Do we really tell people how to run [a business], and who to pay, and how much to pay?”

Yet, now they spew fake outrage and their positions will change due to the outrage of the American people.

Today, the gop house voted to take their bonuses back. What will the Senate do? The same.

Hypocrites.
