Davis votes against diagnosing the economy

After being the only Kentucky representative to vote against credit cardholder protections, Geoff Davis has done it once again. This time he's the only member of Kentucky's delegation to vote against the bipartisan effort to diagnose the financial crisis. AFP has more:

The House voted 367-59 for a bill aimed at curbing financial fraud that included the proposal for an independent panel modeled on the bipartisan commission that investigated the September 11 attacks of 2001.

...Republican Representative Darrell Issa, who has been pushing for the new commission since last fall, said: "You cannot solve a problem until you've accurately diagnosed it.

"A truly independent and nonpartisan commission can put forward an assessment that will help us avoid repeating the mistakes that got us into this crisis in the first place."

What an embarrassment Davis is.
