Passive Pelosi™ promises financial legislation — later

Dems refuse to challenge Czar Henry I and “Immunity II”

She said she wants Uncle Henry Paulson’s dollar-store bailout to create “fast-track authority” for an overhaul of financial legislation.

That’s nice, but,

Why the hell is an overhaul of financial legislation not going to be part of this package?

Beyond that, why is she not even uttering a peep about Paulson’s demand that the whole rescue package be immunized from court challenge. (Henry must have talked to David Addington and Mike Mukasey over the weekend.)

What a dumb ass. What a sucker.

Meanwhile, Land-Swap Harry Reid is going to cave instead of listening to his gut:

“While the Bush proposal raises some serious issues, we need to resolve them quickly,” he said yesterday in a statement. “I am confident that, working together, we will.”

Meanwhile Chuck (Hedge Fund Trimmer) Schumer talks about “taxpayer protections.” Does that include, above all, hedge fund managers still paying capital gains rates on their income, Chuckie boy?

Bend over and enjoy it, especially all you people who will still continue to vote for the Democratic half of the two-party duopoly rather than doing what needs to be done.

You know what you need to do — vote Green where you can.
