CSPAN today (repeat footage from Thursday) is a steady stream of Senators congratulating one another for their hard work on an auto industry bailout bill they all know is about to fail.
I can't watch anymore. I'm going Christmas shopping.

Yes
Yes, they are freaking nuts.
Adding..
In addition to David's criticism, this deal allows the (current) President to appoint the "czar" who will then be the person who dictates terms to the auto makers. Those terms will inevitably involve hostility toward auto unions and retirees. Why would the Democrats agree to cede such a crucial policymaking position on the heels of an election they just dominated? Unless they just don't give a damn about working people.
Or maybe they're spooked by the Joseph Cao-led Republican comeback.
