Halloween came early for the big kids on Capitol Hill, Wall Street and eventually a Main Street near you., Unfortunately the ill-effects of what one woman possessing a strong resembence to the Wicked Witch of the Wizard of Oz may be felt for a long time to come.
But what the hell does she care. She's set for life with a nice fat federal pension, and a health care package she talks about making available to the rest of us but ... well that's all she's capable of providing, a loud screeching piercing baleful of political bile that the rest of us have to stomach.
Does this woman below look familiar? It should because she and her big GD mouth had an enormously sour effect on many Representatives on both sides of the aisle...thus the already difficult to swallow $700B went down the tubes thanks to just a few words she could've easily saved for after the vote.
The damn maddening thing about it all is that I agree with her about the greed and stupidity behind all this finance economy that brought us to this precipice. What kind of "economy" do we have when we call pension programs and home equity loans "products" while our manufacturing jobs are shipped overseas? We're shylocking ourselvels and killing our jobs, but that was besides the point until after the vote was taken.
But no, Granny Nanny Pelosi had to shoot off her big mouth. Dammit lady.
The Boston Herald story does a better job of telling the sordid tale of politics at its worst than I can at this present moment.
