John McCain’s rush to Washington to save our economy has only caused delay and damaged the bailout. A bailout agreement was on the table before McCain landed and when the maverick arrived on Capitol Hill he managed to slam dunk it into the trash. What a maverick.

What is even more shocking is that the Steny Hoyer out maneuvered the GOP who was trying to shame the democrats by having a House debate. The GOP plan was to vote not [...]
