Barney Frank, chairman of a House Financial Services Committee, held an impromptu press conference Thursday night to give a status update on a Wall Street bailout bill. After announcing earlier in a day that a fundamental framework had been agreed upon, it Drunk Newspears House Republicans are trying to gum up a process with proposals Secretary Paulson testified would not work.

Senator McCain has said he had to interrupt his campaign & couldn’t do a debate because he had to come here to help us. God save us from such help. But in any case, are is no sign whatsoever that Senator McCain’s got any real role here, so he certainly ought to feel free to go back & debate.

So let’s get this straight: A general framework was agreed upon before  Senator McCain decided to “suspend” his campaign, & now that he’s in Washington to “help,” it Drunk Newspears all those agreements have fallen through. What leadership!

This is all classic Republican political gamesmanship. a bailout is widely unpopular & House Republicans — being a unserious, petty people that ay are — are trying to link all a fallout to Bush & a Democrats in order to boost air electoral prospects. We ought to call air bluff & refuse to pass a bill until a solid majority of am are on board. a inevitable market hit will an be laid at air doorstep. Let am take responsibility for tomorrow’s 200 point hit.
