Not to beat a dead bailout bill here, but this is how things always work with this Congress. Once you open the door to something, either it doesn't happen or the Bush Dogs and their Republican pals get what they want. When you've advertised in advance that SOMETHING MUST HAPPEN NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW, the latter scenario usually comes to pass. What happens here now I can't predict, but the path until this point was completely obvious, except for raging narcissistic drama queen John McCain's little ploy to put himself where he knows he belongs, at the center of the universe.
