Here's a happy little wet dream scenario for our GOP pals. They can use it and tell it to each other and pretend it actually happened.

Mighty John McCain was taking a rare break from his mighty labors the other day at one of his Arizony ranches when the man on the tee vee came on and said Wall Street was in a heap o’ trouble.

Turns out them banker fellers what Big John had greased the skids for all them years ago had gone and found themselves in a TERRIBLE fix. They had loaned money to POOR people and MINORITIES (sumthin’ Powerful John was STRICTLY against) and them deadbeats was refusin’ to pay the money back because their houses got foreclosed.

Now, nothin’ made Colossal John happier than the idear of a banker foreclosin’ a house on poor minorities. But there was a twist to the story! The BANKERS couldn’t RESELL them houses on account of there weren’t no MARKET for ‘em!

Big Bad John picked up a nearby coyote skull and threw it into the TV screen, shattering it into a gazillion pieces.

“WOMAN!” he bellered! “Git that trollopy ass of yers in here and TELL me how that lame brained, apple-headed BUSH coulda done let this HAPPENED!”

Cindy could only peek in from the closet where Strongman John kept her when he wasn’t lookin’ at her. “I don’t know, He-Man John! He ain’t STRONG and MIGHTY like you?”

“Be quiet,” he snarled as he threw a rattlesnake at her. He got up, walked over to the television and changed channels. (Remote controls gadgets always struck Handsome John as a lazy man’s toy.) On all the news channels, the news sissies were sayin’ that Congress either WOULDN’T or COULDN’T do NOTHIN’ about this crisis facing Behemoth John’s Banking Buddies.

Muscular John’s sinewy neck rippled as he tilted his rugged head back and shouted into the cool morning air.

“THIS… WILL… NOT… STAND!” he bellered, pounding a mighty fist onto the chairside table, splintering it!

“WOMAN!” he bellered. “Gas up the pick-em-up truck! I’m GOIN’ ta WARSHINTON!”

“But Mammoth John,” his cowering bride simpered, “What about the election? The debate?”

“ARRRRRRRRRGH!” he bellered as the veins popped out on his muscular forehead. “The NATION must be SAVED! Only MIGHTY JOHN can save it. Do you think ELECTIONS matter to POWERFUL JOHN?”

Word reached the Congress that Incredible John was a-comin’. The thought of his Mighty and Strong presence in the halls of the Capitol made strong men cry and weak men soil themselves.

“We must take action,” the head of the liberal communist Democrats said. “MIGHTY JOHN will BE here almost ANY MINUTE!”

And they DID take action. And just as they were ready to take the bill to the President, Bombastic John strode into the halls of Congress.

He flexed his mighty chest, and the only sound that could be heard was the ripping of the red flannel shirt that covered his mighty pectorals.

“WELL?” he bellered?

“It’s done, Mighty John,” the lead communist liberal said. “We’re gonna take it to…”

But he never finished the sentence. Strong John reached out and snatched the communist Democrat’s head from his shoulders and crushed it like a pumpkin with one powerful hand.

“LET THIS BE A LESSON TO THE REST OF YOU,” he bellered as he licked the blood and brains from his powerful, strong and mighty hand and strode back to his truck to resume his campaign.

“AND DON’T BOTHER ME WITH NOTHIN’! I got me a LIBERAL to destroy tomorrow!” he said with a mighty sneer. Then he whistled and beckoned to his running mate.

“Sarah! Come here, girl!”

The sleek and beautiful collie leapt into the seat next to Mighty John, her tail wagging with delight, as he fired up the mighty American made engine, threw the truck into gear, and drove off into the western sun.

I am just wondering? Who is going to pay for this 700 Billion Dollar Bailout? or are we just going to print more money and de-value the dollar some more?

OOps a deal didn't get done after all. It looks like the dems spoke prematurely in a failed attempt to trump McCain. So who here would like their crow now? TJO, ready?

Man talk about disgusting, the democrats in the congress announce a deal..For Political Reasons Only!!!!!!!

There was never a deal. Only agreement among the banking committee members.

The Democrats show again that they only care about how they appear on TV and the hell with this country.

Who is so blind and so stupid to vote for these people.

So the Republican senators who announced the deal are DEMOCRATS now?
