And he's got all sorts of stories about bad stuff that happened 13 years ago, when he ever gets around to writing that book that will re-align the planets and stars and set earth back on is axis, bold as love, again.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-67396409949317620672013-03-04T15:32:20.836-05:002013-03-04T15:32:20.836-05:00Wow!

Now listen, we've known about this for 16 months. And yet even today, there's no plan from Senate Democrats or the White House to replace the sequester. And over the last 10 months, House Republicans have acted twice to replace the sequester. There are smarter ways to cut spending than these automatic across the board...<br /><br />DAVID GREGORY:<br /><br />But Mr. Speaker that's just not true. They've made it very clearly, as the president just did, that he has a plan that he's put forward that involves entitlement cuts, that involves spending cuts, that you've made a choice as have Republicans to leave tax loopholes in place. And you'd rather have those and live with all these arbitrary cuts... <br /><br />Apparently that doesn't fit the TDH narrative...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-29855997471002062522013-03-04T14:16:07.790-05:002013-03-04T14:16:07.790-05:00There can only be one problem?

Bob's MO is to stick his broad brush into whatever tar pot is available and proclam that it is typical of all media.<br /><br />Thus, Parker's nonsense is an example of how awful all media is, days after Woodward's story has been blown so far apart that this once mighty journalist now stands before us as a complete fool.<br /><br />Note also Bob demands names be named, but the only "McArdle Mandarin" he has named so far is UCLA-educated Ezra Klein.<br /><br />Yep, Ezra Klein has a blog and facetime on TV.
