Nader on the bailout. (12min)

Where were our representatives, again… we had a handful who voted in the interests of the American People, the rest, I wonder… who signs their paycheck? I truly do not believe they have ever qualitatively EVEN ENTERTAINED THE THOUGHT of the word shameful as it is defined in any standard dictionary.
They give new meaning to the phrase “for a few pieces of silver”.
This goes out to ALL those representatives in the senate and house who voted YEA to the bailout. (You’d think the richest country in the world could afford a flippin dictionary for their representatives)

You folks missed a rare chance at easily deflating a Blankley claim (although I’m a progressive, I think Tony does an honest and credible job at defending conservatives). In the last show (or show before last) he berated Obama and defended McCain over their release of medical records without mentioning the reporters were only given THREE HOURS to read FOURTEEN HUNDRED PAGES of material, without even a cell phone to call an actual medical expert to figure out whether something was relevant or not. This attempt to hide medical information by McCain should continue to be pressed, not ignored. And letting Tony berate Obama and praise McCain on this issue is really sad. Maybe when McCain did it, not knowing who is VP pick would be, was tolerable. But with Palin the VP, this subterfuge in the guise of openness is CLEARLY not tolerable.

A wink is a flirtatious. Botox is narcissistic. Palin is trying to win hearts of Americans like she is Shirley Temple. Give me a straight faced serious politician, albeit though filled with Botox any day.
