Bill needed 13 more votes. 95 Donkeys voted no. WHO didn't get 'er done Freeland? WHO didn't deliver?

BENNIE THOMPSON voted NO while Mr. Noodle Chip Pickering voted Yes.

Maybe the folo crowd needs to fete Pelosi with another blog post for her ability to guide the country forward.

FORTY PERCENT OF DEMOCRATS COURAGEOUSLY VOTED NO FREELAND.

Pelosi failed!

Here is the video of Pelosi winning votes today. She needed only 13 of 95 holdout Donkeys to join her in the bailout corral and failed.

According to Jim Cramer market will drop another 2500 points if nothing is done today.


Would that be the same Jim Cramer who last Friday was predicting that Wachovia would be one of the banks to weather the storm because it had an outstanding CEO? Nah, must be a different Jim Cramer.

Then you have Janet completely off her meds:

Observer, BULLSHIT. Phil Gramm’s - GWB’s - John McCain’s - YOUR beloved deregulation caused this. The borrowers didn’t cause it, the Masters of the Universe cut loose to do these asinine arcane deals without rules or adult supervision — THEY put us in this soup.


If Janet is what Ladd will become with another 15 years of age then I think we'll see Jackson empty out completely.

Kingfish said...

Why doesn't she take it out on the 40% of Dems who voted against it?

Why not a word against Childers, Thompson, and Taylor?

Guess she completely ignores the Democrats hands in fannie/freddie. Or how a government decree forced wall street to rely on only a select few ratings agencies that had massive conflicts of interest.

Now she is wanting impeachment. I guess she doesn't realize what started the slide from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. The criminalization of one's political opponents.

as for Cramer, does ANYONE take him seriously?

Kingfish said...

The borrowers didn't cause it?

EVERY one of those borrowers signed a truth in lending statement before closing and AT closing. If the loan was an ARM, they had to sign TWO disclosures telling them what the terms of the ARM were and federal law required the lender give them a brochure explaining arms. Also if a mortgage company was used, most if not all lenders redisclose and send the borrower a set of disclosures again to sign. Yes Lotus, sometimes the borrowers are to blame.

Apparently posters @ folo do.

Janet Brook can't bring herself to address the folo posters who ask her to address why Pelosi couldn't pry a dozen votes away from the 95 Donkeys who broke with her and Barney on the bailout legislation.

Issue avoidance Janet. As Freeland likes to say, it detracts from your credibility.

Ladd and Stauffer should be very comfortable covering bailouts considering their own by DJP from the grasp of the IRS.

I agree the borrowers should be held accountable... besides the various disclosure documents explaining the terms of the loan, they also have a rescission period!

The House has adjourned until Thursday so we'll get to take this thing for a spin over the next few days. Anyone who gets burned in the market has only themselves to blame as this train wreck has been coming for a couple years now.

"But in a remarkable display on Monday, a majority of House members slapped aside the best version their leaders and the administration had been able to come up with, bucking presidential speeches, pleading visits from Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and urgent warnings that the economy could nosedive without the legislation.

In the face of thousands of phone calls and e-mails fiercely opposing the measure, many lawmakers were not willing to take the political risk of voting for it just five weeks before the elections.

The bill went down, 228-205.

The House Web site was overwhelmed as millions of people sought information about the measure through the day."


Kingfish, since you're his defender, I've yet to see Freeland (or po' Janet) make a cogent argument for the bill that went down in flames today. They're living in a state of denial.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
