Senate Democrat Leaders Praise Senator Bob Corker?

  So. What the fuck is wrong with our so-called Democrat leaders in the Senate? Are we sure that Harry Reid and Senator Dick Durbin are actual Democrats?  Reid I have always suspected of being an under-cover GOP operative trying to pose as a real American and Durbin I'm not to sure about at this point. An alien from another world perhaps? Oh wait, that would make him a Republican.

   So why are these asshats saying such good things  about Bob Corker?

Corker, a former mayor of Chattanooga who became a senator just two years ago and ranks last in seniority among the 10 Banking Committee Republicans, emerged from relative obscurity to become a key figure in the 11th-hour negotiations over a proposed $14 billion auto-industry loan package.

While the effort ultimately collapsed in partisan discord over union wages, Corker, 56, stands as a rare winner in the debate.

     Corker helped to derail the Big 3 bailout package and he gets praise from Democrats.

Corker tried to broker a deal after Senate Republicans turned their backs on appeals from Vice President Dick Cheney and White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten to support the bailout package. The House had approved a plan, backed by President George W. Bush, for short-term loans to keep General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC from running out of cash early next year.

Plan B

Corker’s proposal became Plan B. His package sought to overcome Republican doubts, without alienating Democrats, by making creditors exchange some bonds for stock, and by cutting union wages to levels competitive with amounts paid at U.S. factories owned by European and Asian automakers.

    Anyway, Reid and company give Corker an " A " for effort for his attempt to screw over the UAW and the auto manufacturers. Also, for trying to screw over the hard working middle class of America.
