He looked like the Daily Show Stephen to me. He even endorses Wexler. The man is a ball-less hypocrite...

The Bush Economy
In the 5 1/2 years since Bush took office:
The Dow is up 4%
The S&P is down 6%
The Nasdaq is down 24%
Haliburton is up 103%...

The Limbaugh Hannity Lie
How many times have we heard either of them say, "Reagan cut taxes and revenue doubled?" Well it's simply not true. Under Reagan revenue went up from $599.3 billion to $990.7 billion. That's not double, that's 65% over 8 years, or 8% per year.
Now let's consider Jimmy Carter, the worst President ever: Under Carter revenue went from $355.6 billion to $599.3 billion. That's an increase of 68.5% in just 4 years, or 17% per year.
That's right Rush, Sean, revenue grew twice as fast under Jimmy Carter as it did under Ronald Reagan. Now why are you bragging about Reagan doing worse than Jimmy Carter?
How's our current President doing? When he took office revenue was $1991.4 billion. In 2005 it was $2153.9 billion. That's a measly increase of 8% over 4 years, or just 2% per year.
See the pattern? Tax cuts lead to poor revenue performance, just what an honest, sane person might expect. By Hannity's and Limbaugh's logic we should all ask to be paid less so as to have more money in our bank accounts, makes perfect sense really, except for the facts and the logic of course.

From AMERICAblog - Rahm Emanuel makes a funny
White House paying $100,000 salary to "Director of Lessons Learned"
by John in DC - 7/12/2006 11:25:00 AM
Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) offers a few more lessons learned:
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the President said we continue to be wise about how we spend the people's money.
"Then why are we paying over $100,000 for a 'White House Director of Lessons Learned'?
"Maybe I can save the taxpayers $100,000 by running through a few of the lessons this White House should have learned by now.
"Lesson 1: When the Army Chief of Staff and the Secretary of State say you are going to war without enough troops, you're going to war without enough troops.
"Lesson 2: When 8.8 billion dollars of reconstruction funding disappears from Iraq, and 2 billion dollars disappears from Katrina relief, it's time to demand a little accountability.
"Lesson 3: When you've 'turned the corner' in Iraq more times than Danica Patrick at the Indy 500, it means you are going in circles.
"Lesson 4: When the national weather service tells you a category 5 hurricane is heading for New Orleans, a category 5 hurricane is heading to New Orleans.
"I would also ask the President why we're paying for two 'Ethics Advisors' and a 'Director of Fact Checking.'
"They must be the only people in Washington who get more vacation time than the President.
"Maybe the White House could consolidate these positions into a Director of Irony."
