NOW who's bringing politics into the financial "crisis?"
Mark Ambinder is reporting that Chris Dodd, another old, white-haired man, insinuated that John McCain caused a ruckus during yesterday's bigwig meeting about the bailout at the White House. But the truth is that McCain and the Republicans listened openly and calmly.
-----
Though Sen. Chris Dodd implied that Sen. McCain sandbagged the rest of the negotiators by bringing up alternative proposals, McCain himself did not bring up those proposals, according to four independent sources briefed by four different principals inside the meeting, including two Republicans and two Democrats.
-----
Even though I think the bailout is a terrible idea and a political stunt to begin with, the people who were crying about the evils of "presidential politics" in this process seem to be the ones who are INJECTING presidential politics into it themselves.
