Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

    Aren't I a cute cub ?
It was allowed to fail for political reasons ( stupid administration bowed  to public sentiment for the first time and public doesn't understand financing) so credit markets get bound up like a fat man who's eaten 10# of cheese

that's not the reason. 

**bad reason given in article, pls don't read or click on link.**

Why then?
I think they let it fall because bailing them out  of their current situation would do nothing to help the company's longterm sustainability.  They aren't worth anything and deserve to fail.

you're right, they're the same thing except they're not so it's completely different.

I could see Bush not wanting to bail them out because of the commy connection.

Very plausible.
