Infighting!

As Washington implodes...

Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) just spoke to home-state voters about his sudden emergence as the scapegoat for the watering-down of his executive pay amendment to the stimulus bill -- and the Banking Committee chairman was openly angry with the Treasury Department for not owning up to its role in the flap earlier this week.

Dodd defended his role in ensuring that Wall Street compensation limits made it into the stimulus. The senator expressed disappointment that Treasury let him twist in the wind until yesterday evening, when Secretary Tim Geithner admitted that officials from his department requested that Dodd's amendment be changed to grandfather in existing bonus contracts.

But you know, I saw Obama on Jay Leno, and he quite frankly stated that no matter who did what, he himself is ultimately the guy responsible. At least he knows that. I wonder how he likes it.

I think this is all working out very nicely for the Republicans. If they can just get a grip on themselves and stop freaking out over their toilet ratings, this will all work out the way it was intended. They can have totally screwed the country (and the world!) with their policies allowing wild and reckless corporate and financial irresponsibility and greed, their neglect of infrastructure and public health and well-being, and the environment, and then have turned it all over to the hapless and otherwise fairly incompetent Democrats to be holding the bag when it all crashes to the ground. The heads that will be demanded by the public will be Democratic heads. Be patient you Republican fools. Be patient.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
