As Lambert pointed out last night, the Bolton vote for confirmation to the UN post was delayed to revisit allegations against him, and as Martha Stewart would say, "That's a good thing."

But then there's this:

"Americans weighed down by credit card bills and other financial obligations will have a harder time wiping out their debt under a bankruptcy bill President Bush is poised to sign.
Many debtors will have to work out repayment plans instead of having their obligations erased in bankruptcy court under the law, which will go into effect six months after Bush signs it Wednesday. The legislation is the biggest rewrite of the bankruptcy code in a quarter-century and was pushed for eight years by banks and credit card companies...
The bill got final congressional approval last Thursday, and Bush said he was eager to sign it. "These commonsense reforms will make the system stronger and better so that more Americans — especially lower-income Americans — have greater access to credit," he said."

Does that make ANY fucking sense at all---low-income Americans will have greater access to credit?? This isn't about giving them credit. They're already being raked over the coals by credit companies with medieval usury rates in the very HOPES that they will default. This is about putting even more money into the coffers of the men at the top of the food chain who never, ever can get enough to satisfy themselves.Worst president ever!!!

Today he signs it. In six months the misery intensifies. Hold the Dems accountable for this, because they crawled into bed with him and gave him the very best head he could have ever asked for. Joe Biden, I'm talking to you.
