The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives might not have passed the bailout bill Monday, but the lefties certainly walked away with the best line of the day when Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts mocked GOP lawmakers for blaming the legislation's demise on a speech by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that they considered partisan.

This guy is probably the biggest loser who should keep his mouth shut when it comes to this bill. He said in a July 2008 interview that all is well with the crisis we are now having. Admit your wrong and face up to your mistake. Id be more forgiven of you. Until then shut the hell up!

UNFORTUNATELY, the list of those in Congress who enjoyed Fannie's and Freddie's beneficence includes Democrats and Republicans, and is deep and wide, although, Dems received almost three times the amount received by Reps.

TOP RECEIVERS of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Campaign Contributions:



Dodd, Christopher - Dem. $165,400 


Obama, Barack - Dem $126,349 


Kerry, John - Dem $111,000

Why is this not making anyone's news?

The perception has been set. The world awaits a promised bailout. Are American taxpayers more knowledgeable than the White House, McCain and Obama?

Or are they suddenly just less susceptible to bad PR?
