Observations of the Klown

Excerpts - the rest here:

Racing to reach a deal before the markets open Monday, lawmakers met late into the night in the Capitol office of Pelosi. Paulson set up a sort of command center in the office of Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), with legislators and staffers criss-crossing Statuary Hall as they shuttled back and forth. Yes, we must "make a deal" before capitalism makes the deal for us. We must (sort of) postpone the inevitable. We must do everything except STOP MEDDLING IN THE AFFAIRS OF BUSINESS.

As the talks neared 10 p.m., Paulson could be seen through the windows of Boehner’s second-floor office, sitting on a sofa flanked by aides in chairs around the room. Pelosi passed through a hallway with her son. Asked if a deal would come together before the night was over, she said, “I hope so.” Ok, I wouldn't work late at night like these idiots. They do it all the time. It's as if they can't get their work done during a normal eight hour day. Oh, wait, they only work Tues, Wed, and Thurs -- no wonder -- good work week, Pelosi.

Just before 11 p.m., Paulson, the two principal GOP negotiators – Blunt and Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) – Emanuel, Pelosi chief of staff John Lawrence and White House legislative affairs aide Dan Meyer walked into Pelosi’s office.

In a sign that negotiations were growing serious earlier in the evening, a Pelosi aide collected BlackBerrys from the staffers meeting in her office so that no details would leak out. "Collected BlackBerrys" -- sounds like she's making a pie. Anyway, she confiscated the BlackBerrys? Now ask yourself ... did she confiscate them to help YOU -- or to help her? How does confiscating BlackBerrys help/protect the public? Oh, here's how. No leaks mean you can't find out what the hell she's doing and then call in to tell her dumbass to stop it.

Just after 8 p.m., pizzas arrived at Paulson’s HQ in Boehner’s office. Democratic staffers ordered in burgers from Five Guys. The Klown is a huge fan of Five Guys burgers. DELISH !!

Lastly, I learned the BlackBerry is spelled with a capital B in the second syllable. Somehow, this means you don't spell the plural as "BlackBerries."
