JBJB, on Jennifer Rubin:
In the end, it was only the heat and focus of a presidential campaign that got the appropriate committees to act. I have no doubt that the dems were happy to fuddle this along for another week as they thought it was helping Obama. McCain certainly short circuited the game plan, and did himself a big favor in the process. Next step will be to point out that is was Dodd and Frank who created this mess, while McCain and Bush of all people tried to fix it in 2003 and 2005.
