Tiring of the Kabuki Dance

Okay, so the Democrats are looking to eliminate Blanche Lincoln’s measure “to force financial firms to spin off their derivative-trading desks into separate entities.” But they don’t want the voters in Arkansas to know that when they go to polls on Tuesday. Do they wait until Wednesday to kill the provision or do they strip it out in the conference with the House? How will they screw us? Well, I’d advise them to screw us do it in conference because it looks like the Arkansas senate race is headed for a run-off.

There is nothing uglier than watching Democrats suck up to big business.
