WASHINGTON Bush and gang are asking their accomplices in Congress for far-reaching new powers to take over troubled mortgages from banks and other companies, including purchasing sour mortgage-backed securities.
This is so laughable; but at least the Republicans stand for something, even if it is mass murder, secret Nazi type torture camps, and armed robbery. The Democrats just mill around and do nothing but whine. After taking over as Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi got in front of Bush, bent over and he has been cornholing her steadily ever since.
The middle class, like Pelosi, is getting screwed as well, but not kissed. The wealthy have made two or three fortunes in the last seven years and the poor, well, they don't really count. The Republicans consider them a liability, so they're lucky to get what little they do get. As Cheney said, "Being poor is a profession, a way of life, I look at them the way I do a cur. They can dig in trash cans and eat road kill or starve." Now if you think that's cruel, then you know nothing about Nazis. For Dick Cheney, Kurt Franz, and Josef Mengele, just being verbally cruel is one of the most humane things they ever did.
