UAW Bailout Deader than Princess Di

Give it up for Corker. Perhaps he learned his lesson from his last bailout mistake. Then again, it could simply be a case of temporary sanity.
Richard Shelby speaks. “We all in America will benefit from competition. There’s no reason for Big 3 not to be competitive…Bailouts just don’t generally work. I fear this is just a down payment on more next year. I vote no.”
Stabenow whining about demands for union concessions. Babs Mikulski calls for order, bleats that Stabenow is not being heard. Get out the Kleenex. They both seem on the verge of tears. Stabenow concedes the “votes are not there.”
The Senate GOP needs to get used to using these tactics over the next two years at least. Will they have the stones? It’s a shame they had to use it with their party’s own big-government liberal Republican President.
More from John Hawkins.

Here’s one more word I can do without – “czar”.
It’s bad enough our poor excuse for a government is exhibiting Soviet behavior but do they have to co-opt Soviet language to accompany it?
Since when did we need to have an “emperor” or monarch at the head of a government agency? Screw that noise.

Wow…with that tasteless headline, I was sure this was going to be Brian’s post.
Well done, Preston.

I’m not going to get too excited, it’ll be back soon after Jan-20. The dems will then shout “Merry belated Christmas”. Well maybe not Christmas- more like Kwansa (or however the hell you spell it)
