Best quote: "If [Senate leaders Harry] Reid [D-Nev.] and [Mitch] McConnell [R-Ky.] want to 'Christmas tree' the bailout because they can't get the Senate to pay for things, I don't see much anyone can do to stop them," one aide to a Blue Dog said. "Bipartisan fiscal irresponsibility is a time-tested way to win votes."
