Not Fit For Office

Illinois has 19 representatives in the House. Eleven of them voted against the bailout. They are:

Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D)
Bobby Rush (D)
Dan Lipinski (D)
Peter Ruskam (R)
Jerry Weller (R)
Jerry Costello (D)
Judy Biggert (R)
Timothy Johnson (R)
Donald Manzullo (R)
Ray LaHood (R)
John Shimkus (R)

As businesses fail to make payroll, as your assets freeze in banks, as the streets clog with the displaced people who couldn't afford their mortgages, these are the people who should be in the second wave of the metaphorical guillotine.

The first wave is, of course. reserved for those who actually deregulated and profited from this mess.

That means you Phil Gramm, top financial advisor to John McCain.
