Bailout do-over passes Senate

So it was the Night of the Living Dead Bailout ... and almost to a man, our senators ignored the people they were elected to represent and caved to pressure from Wall Street and lobbyists.

Will we remember in two years, when half the miscreants come up for reelection?

The Senate passed a sweeping and controversial financial bailout similar in key ways to one rejected by the House just two days earlier. The measure was passed Wednesday night by a vote of 74-25, with Barack Obama and John McCain voting in favor.
