Congress bails out on Americana and another parody of Keith Olbermann's 'Worst Persons in the World'

Rep. John Boehner, House Republican leader, let it be known today that his feelings were hurt after Nancy Pelosi provided a passionate speech, accusing Republicans for getting us into this economic disaster. Further, he added her speech could've changed the minds of at least 12 of his Republican colleagues who were ready to approve the bill. What a complete bitch. Pelosi told the truth. Republicans have controlled Congress 12 out of 14 years and the White House for eight. We wouldn't have gotten to this point if regulators did their jobs. When this is all said and done, these bastards need to be investigated and indicted for their outrageous, reckless behavior.

For one of the very few times, I agree with Pres. Bush, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, and many Democrats on this bill. I continue hearing how this is bad for bailing out irresponsible creditors. This is bad for everyone, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. Here are some of the provisions this bill provides: 1.) A bipartisan commission will be created to oversee the actions these failed lenders take in all future endeavors. 2.) No bonuses will be provided to top paid executives and/or CEOs. 3.) Government will buy back these rotten assets and possibly, obtain a profit when selling them back and when these businesses get back on their feet. This means what we pay into this system, we could possibly receive more in return after this is all said and done. 4.) Currently, small businesses are finding it damn near impossible to obtain lines of credit. We now see how more and more are having to close their doors. I despise this Reganomic (voodoo economic, trickle down system we have right now), but every now and then, we have to say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. This bill has been devised to help small businesses as trickle down as it is.

Worst Persons in the World

The bronze goes to Conservative cook Michelle Malkin. Has she looked at herself in the mirror lately? It reminds me of a Dave Chappelle comic skit when he played a blind, white supremacist. Here's a brief transcript from the crooksandliars blog:

"It’s no coincidence that most of the areas hardest hit by the foreclosure wave - Loudoun County, Va., California’s Inland Empire, Stockton and San Joaquin Valley, and Las Vegas and Phoenix, for starters - also happen to be some of the nation’s largest illegal-alien sanctuaries. Half of the mortgages to Hispanics are subprime (the accursed species of loan to borrowers with the shadiest credit histories). A quarter of all those subprime loans are in default and foreclosure.

Regional reports across the country have decried the subprime meltdown’s impact on illegal-immigrant “victims.” A July report showed that in seven of the ten metro areas with the highest foreclosure rates, Hispanics represented at least one third of the population; in two of those areas - Merced and Salinas-Monterey, Calif.

Hispanics comprised half the population. The amnesty-promoting National Council of La Raza and its Development Fund have received millions in federal funds to “counsel” their constituents on obtaining mortgages with little to no money down; the group almost succeeded in attaching a $10-million earmark for itself in one of the housing bills past this spring..."

Malkin drifts into another universe when all rationalization fails. Illegal immigrants can't purchase homes when they don't show identification and employment verification. Nice try.

The silver goes to the aforementioned Rep. John Boehner. Using more political posturing, he said John McCain helped shape their opinions. McCain? This past Tuesday McCain said in an interview he hadn't read Paulson's two-and-a-half page summary of this proposed bill. Oh, well. We can always learn to pretend just like President Bush and McCain pretend to be leaders.

The gold goes to racist and bigot Conservative talk radio hack Austin Rhodes. Albeit his continuing ad nauseum rant that we have too many irresponsible Americans to blame for the mortgage crisis, he switched gears at one point. "Do you ever see a missing black person on the side of a chocolate milk carton? I'm joking." Perhaps, your anti-civil rights audience are the only ones who are laughing. It might also explain that Rhodes would make a good assistant to Michael Richards if another appearance is made at The Comedy Club. Limbaugh lapdog Austin Rhodes, TODAY's WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD.
