Victory, For Now!

Ninety-five Democrats, mostly acting for the right reasons, had enough backbone to join one hundred thirty-three Republicans, mostly acting for the wrong reasons, to defeat the dreadful Wall Street bail out promoted by the Bush administration, the Republican leadership in Congress, and the Pelosiite leadership of the Democratic Party! It’s a rare victory, and probably a temporary one. But it is a victory to savor. For the roll call vote, look here. Democrats who voted the right way for the right reasons deserve all the praise we can lavish upon them.
