The key to Democrat legislation, folks. Shove crap bills through Congress without bothering to read them, and then blame Boosh and the Rethuglicans when it doesn’t work. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Quote of the day from Chris Dodd:

“It’s a great moment. I’m proud to have been here,” said a teary-eyed Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), who as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee led the effort in the Senate. “No one will know until this is actually in place how it works. But we believe we’ve done something that has been needed for a long time. It took a crisis to bring us to the point where we could actually get this job done.”

Makes you a little sick to your stomach, doesn’t it?

More on the bill over at The Corner, and how it’s really only a compromise between Democrats to make financial regulations even more restricting, oppressive, complicated, and confusing.
