And now for something completely different…

Hold it, please! Hold it! This is Sir Obama from the court of Chicago — a very brave and influential knight, and my special guest here today.
Hello!
He killed my bailout bill!
Please, please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion! Let’s not bicker and argue about who killed what bill. We are here today to witness the power of our anointed leader! Unfortunately, the Wall Street bailout bill was killed by those evil Republicans…
Actually you did that to yourselves.
Heresy! It’s not my fault! It was all the work of W and his evil minions Cheney and the Sith Lord Rove!
Sith Lord Rove turned me into a newt!
Really?
Well…I got better…
Did someone say “Newt”?
Out, out damn Newt! You’re throwing off my groove. This is all the fault of those rascally republicans! If only they had voted for the bill we wouldn’t be in this mess.
Actually, they did. When I came to town there were only four of our House Guys willing to vote for it. I delivered 61 more for you. You needed to bring 218 votes to pass the bill which means you could afford to lose 82 of your members with the voted I spotted you. How many votes did you bring to the table?
Ummmmm…
Consult the Stat Keeper!
The Holy Book of Stats says Nancy brought only 140 votes to the table.
Sir Obama? A little help?
Now, now, Nancy. I told you I’d be there if you needed me. I thought just by showing up in DC your members would be overjoyed at my presence, feel of my power, and do my bidding!
So, how’s that working out for you?
Well, I’m…I’m…all wet.
Yeah. We can see that.
Yes. Yes we can.

Points for creativity, but amazingly silly that you rip Democratic leadership for delivering a majority from their party, yet McCain and the obviously non-existent GOP House leadership gets praised.
Sorry, Patrick. I reserve the right to slam The Pelosi for failing to get 40% of her people to toe the line and then blaming the Republicans for her lack of leadership.
I never said you didn’t have the right to do it. Ripping her for “only” getting 60% of her caucus when the GOP couldn’t even muster a third is pretty weak.
It’s little like a football team losing 48-17 and then crowing about the fact they outscored the third stringers in mop-up time during the fourth quarter.
What Pelosi did was pretty dumb, I think the WSJ called her “Tom DeLay without the charm”, but she still brought more of her side to the table than McCain could.
Pelosi was responding to the attacks on her speech she made on the floor. A speech that Cantor claimed killed the bill.
When McCain came riding in on his white horse and announced of the suspension of his campaign, he could not even get half of the support of his party for a bill proposed by his party. He then took credit for the bill and criticized Obama for standing along the sidelines. After the bill did not pass, he attacked Obama for his part in playing presidential politics. Instead of playing the blame game, Obama told the public to reman calm and pressed congress, Republicans and Democrats, to work together to pass this bill. He has not made this into a stunt like McCain, and is legitimately doing his best for the interests of the country. He even did what others should have done weeks ago, admit that this is not a bailout, but a rescue plan.
Hilarious! 5 stars!
Loved it - “it was better than Cats!”
