Terrified Oligarchs

As an insider tells me, Congressmen are “peeing in their pants” over the proposed bailout of the plutocrats – because they are being inundated by calls, emails, and visits from their very angry constituents. No regular American believes Paulson and Bernanke, or thinks that their insider deal to rip us off for the government-connected rich is a good idea. Both Obama and McCain are wholly owned subsidiaries of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. But congressmen are vulnerable to a change in the climate of opinion. Indeed, eventually, the whole regime is.
