Corporate Whores
Bankruptcy Bill Passes:

Lawmakers voted 302 to 126 for the bill. The legislation, identical to what the Senate passed last month, would make the most significant changes to bankruptcy law in nearly three decades. Its passage by Congress marks a coup for executives in the credit-card, retail and auto financing industries, who have pushed it for a decade.

73 Democrats voted for it in the House. (Roll Call here.)
Go see if your representative was a traitor to the central tenets of the Democratic Party and decided to follow the "New Democrat principle of greater personal responsibility." Mine was. Way to suck up to those corporate masters, Bill Jefferson!
