Potential Bailout/”Rescue” Deal Called Crap Sandwich That Sucks! (By Congressmen)

(The Politico) In a closed-door session with House Republicans, Minority Leader John A. Boehner just called the financial rescue deal a “crap sandwich” – then said he’ll vote for it when it comes to the floor Monday.

House Republicans are the key to the bill’s passage – Speaker Nancy Pelosi said earlier today that it’s a “bipartisan” bill and will need “bipartisanship” to pass – and it now appears that a substantial number of them will put cast their votes in favor of it.

"If we don't pass it we shouldn't be a Congress," (Excuse My French but there is area Fucking Deal! Ed.), said Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., who told reporters that he was confident the bill would pass without a further round of changes….more….
