Ok, so Bush the gall to spin the record (biggest ever) defecit as good news. And I haven't heard the press call him on it, not the NYT, WSJ, etc, etc. Wow, it wasn't 500 bn so we're on the right track, I guess.

Orwell rolls over in his grave again.

2. Bush*co purposely overestimated the deficit
So they could claim that their doing a great job on the economy. We know that's a damned lie.

3. When I first met my wife
I told her I was huge down there just to get in her pants... It worked.

4. Hmmmm... deficit as penis...
I suppose that's one way Bush can size up as a man.

5. That's their M.O., like with the Kerry bounce
"They'll probably have a 15% bounce after the convention." Always set the expectation too high so you can claim victory when you actually lose.

We see through it but the Repub noise machine probably fools a lot of people.
