...avoid a similar fate. Then, having sworn off bailouts by letting Lehman fail and wiping out its shareholders, the Treasury and the Fed reverse course for an $85 billion rescue of creditors and policyholders of American International Group (AIG), a $1 trillion insurance company. Other once impregnable institutions may disappear or be gobbled...

Gustav's negligible impact and early demise meant that the GOP couldn't cancel Bush completely - throwing a sitting President under a bus must be done discreetly. So they've settled for the next best thing: a very short speech via satellite by the President from the White House tonight around 9:30 p.m. E.T. Bush will speak for all of eight minutes, thanking Republicans for their backing over the years and urging them to work hard to help elect McCain...
