1. @Keith's mention of "should we panic?" doesn't Krugman's voice quake

FF to about 1:56; Mr. Krugman seems like his fear is about to come bubbling to the surface..

2. I think Krugman has been scared to say certain things on tv

Because he doesn't want to freak people out too much. It seems like the economists all have been holding back a little, like they're scared to effect the market or something. But Krugman strikes me as extremely fearful something bad is going to happen.

5. His voice always shakes.

He's a nervous guy.

4. A bad bill, but better than nothing

That's pretty much how I felt about it.

Unfortunately, Bush will veto any good bill.

7. Agree, but Pelosi needs to hold the Republicans feet to the fire too

Let her deliver 140 Dem votes. If the Repukes in Congress can't deliver the remainder necessary for passage, then it's proof that Bush & Co. want the Dems to hold the entire bag if the bailout fails. I also think that the new bill should have more oversight and taking of CEO assets to help pay off the debt.

8. Meanwhile; in a Parallel Universe.....

There is a trillion dollar Surplus; and Al Gore is finishing his second successful term.....(There has never been an "Iraq War")
