Don't you just wanna slap her?

Nancy P. poses with the bailout bill. Looks like a great Christmas card pic.

What the hell is she smiling about? "Hey, taxpayers, read it and weep!".

I know I'm thrilled.

To make matters worse, the bastards added some earmarks. What's a few billion more? All those responsible for this added pork (no matter what party affiliation) should be exposed and given the  boot. 

Here are some earmarks I found:

"The financial rescue measure passed by the Senate on Wednesday included a series of tax incentives benefiting specific industries or states.

Wooden arrows: This tax break, backed by Oregon's two senators, would benefit an Oregon manufacturer of wooden arrows for children by $2 million over 10 years.

Racetracks: Earmark would allow auto racetrack owners to depreciate their facilities over seven years, saving the industry $100 million over two years.

Rum: Offers rum producers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands a rebate on excise taxes worth $192 million over two years.

Wool: Reduces tariffs for U.S. makers of wool fabric that use imported yarn, worth $148 million over five years. The measure was pushed by Reps. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., and Melissa Bean, D-Ill.

Exxon Valdez: Plaintiffs in the suit over the 1989 oil spill could spread their tax payments on punitive damages over three years, cutting their tax bill by $49 million. The measure was backed by Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska.

American Samoa: Allows certain corporations to reduce their tax liability on income earned in American Samoa, at a cost of $33 million over two years.

Hollywood: Extends a tax break for film and TV companies that keep their production in the United States, worth $478 million over 10 years. The provision was originally pushed by Rep. Diane Watson, D-Los Angeles."
