McCain rails against the 'excessive' payouts to CEOs of failing companies. What a hypocrite. His virtual spokesperson - until she was 'disappeared' - was Carly Fiorina. Fiorina got a $45 million golden parachute after she eviscerated HP, causing the layoff of 20,000+ employees. McCain and his campaign have brought hypocrisy to a fine art form.

House Democrats to Let Ban on Drilling Expire By Paul Kane Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, September 24, 2008; Page A02 Congressional Democrats bowed to political pressure yesterday and agreed to let the ban on offshore oil drilling expire, a decision that would allow exploration just three miles off the Atlantic and Pacific coastlines unless the next president reinstates an executive branch order that prohibits drilling. Democrats said they gave in to White House demands rather than risk a showdown over the "continuing resolution" Congress must pass to fund the federal government through March. A new drilling moratorium would have been included in that wide-ranging measure. Provisions seeking money for home heating assistance for the poor and a loan program for the auto industry remain in the bill.
