Fuck the businesses that can't compete and make bad decisions
and fuck the people that took out loans they knew they couldn't afford.
Let them all crash and burn.
Fuck WaMu, Fuck Wachovia, Fuck AIG, Fuck Bear Stearns, and Fuck Congress while we're at it.
Fuck Barney Frank - he knew this shit was in the works the entire time. He has NO RIGHT to stand up and bitch about a bail-out.
Fuck Ben Bernanke and Fuck Henry Paulson. They both knew this shit would happen and did NOTHING.
Fuck Steny Hoyer, just for good measure. And Fuck Nancy Pelosi simply because she's an idiot. no other reason, really.
Oh - and FUCK covering your ass:
"Because somebody hurt their feelings they decide to punish the country. ... I mean, that's hardly plausible" said Frank. noting that the number of Republicans insulted was the same needed to pass the legislation. "I'll make an offer. Give me those 12 people's names and I will go talk uncharacteristically nicely to them."
Republicans were quick to blame House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the bill's failure, saying a pre-vote speech in which she criticized the Bush administration's handling of the economy had turned Republican votes against the bailout.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told FOX News that Democrats knew how tenuous the bill was they shouldn't have played with fire. "Congressman Frank is funny and clever but there's nothing clever about this. Why would you poison the well right before the vote is about to take place?" he asked
"We delivered on our side of the bargain," Pelosi said, congratulating Democratic leaders for getting 60 percent of the caucus to support the White House bill. "We extend a hand of cooperation to the White House, to the Republicans so we can get this issue resolved"
"We did our part," said Hoyer of Maryland. "As I said on the floor, this is a bipartisan responsibility and we think (Democrats) met our responsibility."
"We're all worried about losing our jobs," said Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., before the vote. "Most of us say, 'I want this thing to pass, but I want you to vote for it ? not me.'
