Mr. Henry tells us Wall St. got snookered by their own computer models. Those damn computer models, why, next thing you know, they'll be predicting that global warming is man made! Mr. Henry is correct, this stampede over the cliff of fiscal irresponsibility was started and promoted by those congressional cowboys in chaps, (think Barney Frank & Chris Dodd, talk about the Village People) who now seek to place blame elsewhere. The New York Times has one of the greatest financial scandals under its nose, but writes nothing because it will land at the feet of Democrats who created the monsters Fannie & Freddie. Henry Waxman is set to hold hearings in October (imagine that) but you can bet all of Al Gore's carbon credits that neither members of Congress nor Messrs. Raines, Johnson and Mudd will be placed under oath.

p>The McCain campaign is genetically incapable of blaming Congress. His membership in Club Senate precludes blame upon the political class. Just as he did after the Keating 5, when McCain blamed the system for corrupting pure and innocent public servants rather than their own greed and avarice, McCain & Co. look everywhere else but in the mirror. In the debate, Gov. Palin made five references to greedy Wall St. and only at the end, an oblique reference to Washington and Fannie & Freddie. Despite her outstanding performance, standing toe to toe with professional pol, numero uno, Joe Biden, McCain will likely lose this election because the "maverick" won't admit that Congress is corrupted by the disease of incumbency. If McCain/Palin lose, she needs to get back to the clean air of Alaska ASAP before toxic Washington gets into her system. br> -- A. DiPentima /p>

Lawrence Henry fails to state two important things: one, as long as the media remain in the tank for Barack Obama, Americans will never learn the truth about the scope of the Democrats' involvement in this mess; two, in a country where half the people pay no income taxes at all, "free" houses are a "natural" extension of the entitlement mentality.

p>If Ann Coulter is accurate regarding the Clinton administration's decision to use welfare payments and unemployment insurance as income sources, why isn't such insanity front page news? See numbers one and two above. br> -- Arnold Ahlert br> Boca Raton, Florida /p> p>
