WTF?

What kind of happy horseshit is this? McCain did the honorable and proper thing, taking some time off his campaign to actually try and do his day job for a change. The bill didn’t pass. So now it’s his fault? Fuck you CNN. He didn’t write the thing. He isn’t even a Congressman. He’s a Senator. The bill failed in CONGRESS you morons.

WASHINGTON (CNN) —The House’s failure to pass a $700 billion bailout package Monday not only held back billions for Wall Street, but also was a major blow to Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign.

The Republican presidential nominee raised the stakes for himself last week when he suspended his campaign and returned to Washington for negotiations over a solution to the financial crisis.

Really? Why? Because he was trying to help solve the crisis? What was he supposed to do, make serious faces at the camera and point fingers of blame, like Oworthless is doing? You leftwing lying scumbags. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t, and the Oasshole skates. Always.

“Even before the House vote, voters blamed Republicans more than Democrats for the crisis. Then McCain suspended his campaign to come back to Washington to rally support for a rescue plan,” said Bill Schneider, a CNN political analyst. “He failed, so he gets blamed by both supporters and opponents of the rescue plan.”

Great. Let’s hide the root causes in the Clinton Closet some more. This is just another kind of Bimbo Eruption, so don’t you dare point a finger at the democrats. Even though they helped cause it, and their prime operators were in charge of Fannie and Freddie and doing their best to drive them straight into the ground. Nope, that gets ignored.

The press makes me want to puke. Americans make me want to puke. Can’t you assholes think for yourselves for one goddam minute? Can’t you remember ANYTHING for more than a couple weeks? Are you that FUCKING STUPID you can’t put 1 and 1 together and come up with 2? The first person I see today who echoes this BS meme. “McCain is to blame for the financial crisis” is going to get a seasoned 2x4 right in the teeth. People that stupid don’t deserve to breathe.

During a campaign event in Des Moines, Iowa, on Tuesday, McCain appeared to distance himself from Monday’s House vote, saying the congressional inaction had “every American and the entire economy at the gravest risk.”

“Yesterday, the country and the world looked to Washington for leadership, and Congress once again came up empty-handed,” he said.

But over the weekend, McCain had involved himself in the efforts to get the bailout package to the president’s desk.

Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, the top Republican in the House, said that McCain was actively involved in lobbying Republican House members Sunday to line up behind the bailout.

“He has been making calls to members in support of this bill ... and I’m grateful for his support,” Boehner said.

So? He felt this was the right thing to do, and he worked for it.  That’s making and effort. So this measure failed. So what? Find out what the sticking points are and go write another one. Are the Republicans suddenly against a bailout? Or did they just vote against it because it was Democrat sponsored? Or did the Dems lay in a boatload full of pork at the last minute?

Where’s the story, CNN? Where’s the actual investigative reporting????  Don’t tell us that it didn’t pass and who you want to get blamed. Tell us WHY it didn’t pass. Tell us what the sticking points were. DO SOME REAL REPORTING FOR ONCE you lazy bottom feeders.

And Oworthless?

While Obama and McCain have mostly agreed on the principles of the bailout, Obama has mostly stayed out of negotiations and has used the financial crisis to attack the economic policies of the Bush administration and tie McCain to the unpopular President Bush.

”He didn’t put himself in that process. He was smart enough to realize he couldn’t control the House Republicans or Democrats,” said Ed Rollins, another Republican strategist and CNN contributor.

Exactly. He stood by on the sidelines crying like a little girl and laying out blame. He took advantage of one of the most perilous moments in recent history to play politics. He didn’t rush in to help. He didn’t lead any efforts at all. He didn’t even do his job, which is to show up and vote “present”. This is leadership? No, this is bullshit. Total. But being a lazy worthless jerkwad is now being “too smart” to get involved. Really? I’d call it clear and unquestionable proof that this turd is unfit to lead. Hell, he’s unfit to even follow!

PS - Ed Rollins? Huckabee’s Ed Rollins? Ross Perot’s Ed Rollins? The mouthpiece for CBS? Oh, whoopdedoo. He’s just as big a microphone whore and just as worthless as Dick Morris.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
