No principles in the House

The $700 billion bailout passed the House yesterday by an overwhelming margin. After the Senate had loaded the bill with special interest tax breaks and spending (see also “pork”), a large number of Representatives seemed to find it easy to abandon the “principles” which caused them to vote against the bill on Monday.

They should be ashamed, faces blazing red, as they creep out of town to attend to their first (only?) priority which is to get re-elected.

Are there no limits to the lack of leadership in Washington DC?
