Bailout fails

In case anyone's living under a rock, the bailout failed.

Congressman Jim Marshall voted for it, though. You may have seen his comments earlier on the political insider.

UPDATE: The insider has more. Rep. Marshall sounds pissed:
Damned if I’m going to rescue these jerks. But I am absolutely willing to try to avoid (what) almost every single economist has said — and that is an imminent crash of the credit markets. Which all economists agree means that we head almost certainly into a depression.

Chuck Todd on MSNBC mentioned Jim Marshall as one of two members who surprised him with their votes. As I said on my blog, Marshall might be ready to leave the whole messy Beltway.

And Sanford Bishop again stood up against half of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Thanks Marshall.
