Shameful.  Pelosi and Frank make speeches this morning skewering the

94 Dems vote against it, too.)  Pelosi should have never made that speech

"...if her speech truly cost votes, then Republicans, in the words of
Representative Barney Frank, Democrat of Massachusetts, were guilty of
punishing the country because Ms. Pelosi had hurt their feelings." -

Erik Cantor, R-Va, who led the fight to defeat the bill, stated
tonight that he wasn't even aware of Pelosi's speech prior to the
vote. Blaming Pelosi is just another typical Republican tactic
designed to take the heat off their own party.
