FYI - From what I've heard the majority of Pelosi's so-called "leadership team" voted against the bill as well.

Make of that what you will =p

 

The only thing I can think is she didn't want it to pass, and the best way to make that happen is to do this. That, or she really is that stupid.

As for being a Republican Shill? I am not a republican, and I am not blaming Nancy, I am thanking her. I love the fact that the bill did not pass. I am just saying that if you did want it to pass, this woman should be lynched.

She wanted it to pass.... but not without 100 republican votes.  She said outright she wouldn't let it pass if they didn't have the 100%. They had the votes to pass it but wouldn't "jump off the bridge alone."

Though in the end since the repubs only needed like 80... it was obvious she blinked on that bluff anyway and just didn't have enough political clout to pass the bailout and bring in some extra Dems.
