I literally laughed out loud when I saw the pull quote from Friday’s Omaha World-Herald story on Lee Terry, claiming “I don’t like to brag.” It should be noted that in the very same story, the painfully-modest Terry claims he was a “key player” in passing the $700 billion bailout.

For a dose of reality, the World-Herald reported earlier in October that Terry “…was out shopping when he got the call about 8 p.m. Wednesday. House Minority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo., was rounding up support for a modified version of the $700 billion taxpayer bailout of the troubled financial sector.”
