What...I think Bob is completely missing the point. What is actually going on here is a conspiracy to get Saturday Night Live bumped off the air. What's the point in having those comedy writers waste all that time coming up with ways to satirize this? If they wrote something from scratch I really can't imagine how they would write anything different. Sure, the actors could probably add some funnier facial expressions delivering these lines, but look, don't we all get so tired staying up until 11:30 at night anyway? These roundtables are much more convenient showing at the more civilized time of 10am or 10:30. We should all be greatful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-45392458155942190492012-05-08T14:57:50.810-04:002012-05-08T14:57:50.810-04:00"it's mostly spending and a little taxes ..."it's mostly spending and a little taxes and we've got a complicated tax code that needs to be reformed"<br /><br />No, it won't ever get any more vacuous than that.

Every once in a while, I he...Good point, Booky301.<br /><br />Every once in a while, I hear a pundit or guest offer up this kind of just "sit them down in a room and lock the doors" advice. Usually, I'm left speechless at the naivete and laziness of the comment.<br /><br />Jack Welch offered this kind of advice on how to solve the economic crisis, while a guest on "Morning Joe" a couple of years ago. Joe and Mika acted as if it were the wisest thing they'd ever heard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-53217355113055212892012-05-08T11:04:42.812-04:002012-05-08T11:04:42.812-04:00"And I think most Republicans and most Democr..."And I think most Republicans and most Democrats, if you sit them down in a room and don't let them talk to any press during the election year they'll come to an agreement on how to do that."
