It’s bad enough that this damn bailout bill passed, HOW DARE THEY!  But worse, they’re reporting on the wrong vote, saying that the bill passed 263-171, when it didn’t.

What on earth is wrong with reporters, papers, etc.

The vote on the Senate Amendment was 263-171. I watched that come down on the ABC life feed… folks, that’s just the House accepting the Senate Amendment to HF1424.

FOLLOWING THAT VOTE WAS THE VOTE TO SUSPEND THE RULES AND PASS BILL” AND THAT VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS LAST I SAW, WITH 300+ FOR IT AND 20 FENCE SITTERS, AND THEN ABC CUT AWAY FROM THE TALLY SCREEN.

THE VOTE FOR THIS DAMN BAILOUT WAS UNANIMOUS OR NEARLY UNANIMOUS, WHY ARE THEY REPORTING THE WRONG VOTE AND NOT REPORTING THE VOTE FOR ACTUAL PASSAGE OF THE BILL?

It seems to me too many will get credit for voting against the bill when all they did was vote against the Senate Amendment and they actually voted FOR the bill.

This is too weird…
