Republican spoilsport prevents rip-off:

"The left - those wholly responsible for the subprime crisis - are complaining on every outlet that they "had a deal" that would have passed into law to allow the rescue of the financial industry but for the intercession of John McCain. But the devil is in the details. One of those details is that the left would have used this financial rescue operation as a form of massive public funding for progressive advocacy organizations.

The "deal" to fund the rescue operation of our financial sector that Barney Frank and Chris Dodd proposed would have transferred fully 20% of the proceeds returned from the rehabilitation of assets to the Housing Trust Fund - a slush fund the Dems use to fund "progressive organizations," and in particular ACORN, itself an organization that should be prosecuted under the RICO laws. In other words, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank would have further screwed our nation on a massive scale in order to fund a criminal organization dedicated to putting in power the people who created this fiscal catastrophe. If you are feeling homicidal about now, trust me when I say I suspect there is a lot of that going around at the moment."

Browsing MSM news sites this morning, many of them feature the allegation that McCain has held up the rescue package while failing to provide the background to his opposition to parts of it.
Why let the truth get in the way of a golden opportunity to campaign for their poster boy, eh?
*spit*
Wolf Howling gives further links and some good reading on this.
