House votes down bailout

Via email, the Wall Street bailout has failed in the House, 205 to 228. More details as they become available.

And via Die Zeit, here's vox populi.

Update: The Dow is down 500 points (10,649), and has now officially moved below the level it had when George Bush took office eight years ago(10,659). How's that MBA Presidency working out for you, Wall Streeters?

: Via TAP, here's the roll call. Yeas: Ackerman, Arcuri, Bishop, Clarke, Crowley, Engel, Fossella, Hall, Higgins, Israel, King, Lowey, Maloney, McCarthy, McHugh, McNulty, Meeks, Nadler, Rangel, Reynolds, Slaughter, Towns, Velazquez, Walsh, Weiner. Nays: Gillibrand, Hinchey, Kuhl, Serrano

Update 3: The final tally: the Dow is down 777 points for the day, the highest one-day point loss in history.

Boehner blames Pelosi

I'm not kidding. John Boehner is blaming Nancy Pelosi for "giving a partisan speech" on the floor of the House, causing too many of his Republicans to vote against the bill. Roy Blunt is agreeing, saying her speech switched about a dozen Republicans.

They just never give up.
