Ed Morrissey has the good, bad, and ugly on the agreement Congressional leaders have reached on the bailout bill.

Not great, but better than how it started out. No ACORN funding for one thing.

PM Update 1 - 4:20: Here’s a link to the bill.

PM Update 2- 6:24: Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby goes off on Democrat Rep. Barney Franks for whitewashing his and his fellow Democrats’ roles in how we got to this point.

  1. Hey Nasty Pelosi and Scary Reid, I have made my mortgage payments on time for the past five years, where’s my bailout? Your bailout bill had better not give money to those idiots that walked away from their homes because they were stupid. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd need to be impeached for rewarding the illegal population with home loans they could not afford.

  2. I don’t trust a word either side of the aisle says. I want to read the final document for myself. Post it online in its entirety so not one tit or jottle can be altered before Congress votes. Give voters a chance to read it and contact their reps again. (Yeah, I know that will never happen.)

  3. What happens if two candidates get the same number of votes?

  4. Check the Constitution. If the Electoral College ties at 269-269, then the House of Representatives elects the president, but with this difference: each state gets ONE vote. So California’s 53-person delegation has no more clout than Wyoming’s single at-large representative. With the Dems having a congressional majority in more states, that favors Obama.

    The VP is decided in a similar manner by the Senate, but with one difference: each Senator has one vote. Assuming Joe Lieberman crosses party lines and votes for Sarah Palin, we’d have a 50-50 tie. Which means the deciding vote would be cast by…Dick Cheney.

    So if the EC ends up tied, it’s not inconceivable that we could have President Obama and VP Palin. That could make for an interesting four years. :-?
