Where is the GOP Leadership?

This is why I love Rachel Maddow. While most other cable news pundits are busy asking Democrats what they think about what the Republicans just said about them and vice versa, Rachel has actual, original insights.

While others were busy "reporting" that House Representatives failed to approve a Wall Street bailout bill due to hurt feelings as if that was a legitimate excuse, Rachel was busy thinking, "Why is that a legitimate excuse? And how did things turn out so differently from what most were saying just a day or two before?"
