Is this a PDF file?

ACORN IS STILL THERE — page 21, 22. Read it and weep. This cannot be the new version. It’s the same wording as as the 102-page draft on the subject of ACORN. Someone that knows, please tell me I’m wrong, and how.

ACORN is STILL IN THERE (Page 22 - lines 1 thru 8)

Newt Gingrich, who yesterday called for Paulson’s head, would, relunctantly, vote for the bailout:

STEPHANOPOULOS: “Speaker Gingrich, there’s also, I think, a recognition, at least in some of the polls I’ve seen, that something has to be done.”

SPEAKER NEWT GINGRICH: “Sure, look, something has to be done. … I suspect were I still in Congress, in the end George [Will] is right, and I probably would end up voting reluctantly yes, because I think when you’re given no choice

The problems start off right at the beginning:

FINANCIAL INSTITUTION.—The term ‘‘fi1nancial institution’’ means any institution, including, but not limited to, any bank, savings association, credit union, security broker or dealer, or insurance company, organized and regulated under the laws of the United States or any State, territory, or posses21 sion of the United States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, American Samoa, or the United States Virgin Islands, and having significant operations in the United States, but excluding any central bank of, or institution owned by, a foreign government.

This is nuts. Regulated commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System - ok for the sake of argument - but if the others go bankrupt - good ridence.
