Credit where due
As with high gas prices, when it comes to the financial/mortgage meltdown, the Democrats own it — but they’ll never own up to it. Remember it, and mull it over every time you see gasbag liars like Obama or Barney Fucking Frank trying to pin the blame everywhere but where it belongs: right smack on their own sloped shoulders. Drew M says it’s enough to make you throw up. It ought to be enough to make us throw the socialist bastards out instead.
Update! “Enough to make you throw up?” It’s enough to make your head explode.
Updated update! Much, much more. If someone’s head does explode, hopefully he or she will be close enough so that the Democrats who are to blame for this catch an assload of shrapnel. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Update to the updated update! Bill points out that the Repubs come in for some blame too, by not fixing the mess while they had a Congressional majority. He ain’t wrong, I admit. In fact, it’s statists from both parties who come in for the blame, and I really ought to be more careful about making distinctions based on R’s and Ds, when it’s actually the S’s and C’s (socialists and capitalists) that matter.
We’re screwed ‘08 update! Unbelievable.

Not to mention that the Commies realize they have a maybe once in a lifetime chance to steal the country and they're gonna do it no matter what the voters say and hope they can shuck and jive their way out of any blame later ...
except ...
The Dems don't want such a hideously public paper (vote) trail leading home in case this thing blisters up real bad (or we don't forget about it) before Nov. 4, so instead of just passing it like a big gas bubble, which they can do, they keep trying to rope in Republicans to spread the potential blame around.
ABOVE ALL OF IT ... When I worked on Times Square 20 years ago, I used to see street hustlers selling factory sealed VCRs to motorists at red lights. They'd be in there among the cars offering a $300 piece of electronics for a hundred. Factory sealed box, man. Never been opened, check it out.
Of course the boxes had been opened and the VCRs were long gone. Instead there was usually a load of damp New York Times to simulate the correct weight. They'd find the boxes behind Crazy Eddie--or wherever--and make them look factory sealed again.
The reason I mention this is I see their clincher sales technique being used on a antional scale last week. See, when an interested motorist balked, the VCR guys would look over their shoulders and say "Man, the cops are coming. Now or never! Hurry up!"
Mostly, it worked. The hurry-up pressure sealed the deal. It almost sold the nation on a package with 20% going to the scoundrels at ACORN. Came this close. It was real funny knowing that a lot of dweebs paid a century for a box of damp newspaper--and a lot did--but this other thing here ain't so humorous.
