“How do you know there is going to be an economic recovery,” Greta Van Susteren asked GOP dummy, Dana Perino. “There always is; these things go in cycles,” squeaked the Heidi Klum of the commentariat in a voice reminiscent of the super model’s.
Dana, who was once spokesperson to a man who could not speak, is not working with much gray matter. She always smiles ever so smugly and proudly when her boss’s “modest” government expansion is hearkened back to nostalgically on FoxNews. Dana also thinks the economy is like a menstrual cycle. But even that thing stops when the hormones run out, Dana.
Another lightweight, who only sounds weightier, is Liz Cheney. The two will often form the Fox-panel staple when super dumb chicks, such as CE Cupp, are unavailable to gesture wildly and grimace while regurgitating Carl Rove’s talking points.
Liz repeated the Republican refrain, the other day, about the Democrats’ stimulus “not working.” As if it could work—the premise of that statement is that such confiscation might have worked, if only, if only…
Yes: the GOPiers’ line, for the midterm elections, is that there is a smart, economically stimulating way for the state to spend money it has stolen from the private economy. Time and again Repbulicans have explained that the stimuli consisted of misguided spending, so typical of Democrtats, instead of REAL stimulus, which is the hallmark of Republikeynesian “thought.”
No Republikeynesian heard on cable will refute the bogus notion that government is able to create jobs out of funds it has forcibly removed from the private economy, or by printing paper in the basement of the Fed. The beef the likes of dodo Perino, Newt, Dick, Carl et. al., will invariably voice is: The Dems didn’t apply the stolen funds the way one ought to have; the way we would have.
Just a friendly reminded, as we near the midterms.
UPDATE: Thanks, Myron, for the Jack Hunt article:
“If conservatives want to know how Obama and his party are currently able to get away with creating colossal debt and an even more monstrous government they should look no further than the last administration. Where was the Right — as the Left often asks, and justifiably so — when Bush doubled the size of government and the national debt during his eight year term? Where was the caller who is so angry about Michelle Obama’s vacation when Bush created the largest entitlement expansion since Lyndon Johnson, with Medicare Part D? What was Limbaugh complaining about the same week Dubya was enacting the federally intrusive education disaster ‘No Child Left Behind’?”
I can tell you where today’s Republican House Minority Leader and Obama-critic John Boehner was — the man whose party winning in 2010 might prevent ‘riots’ — he was standing right next to Bush as he signed NCLB, heartily endorsing the legislation as one of his ‘proudest achievements.’ It has been reported that some Republican outfit, apparently nostalgic for pre-Obama America, has erected a billboard featuring Bush with the caption, ‘Miss me yet?’ Are they kidding? Hell no, I don’t miss him — and any serious conservative shouldn’t either, as our current president simply continues to build upon the last one’s statist achievements.”
“And ‘building’ is exactly what it is — regardless of which party is in control, when was the last time a president departed office, leaving behind a federal government smaller than he found it? Not even Ronald Reagan did this, as each successive administration piles on new and massive bureaucracy.”

Here is an interesting video to bring back Clinton/Lewinsky nostalgia:

Monica provided the right type of STIMULUS for the country – keeping the President and Congress distracted from their usual violations of the Constitution (and the oaths of office).
Speaking of oaths and oafs, it is amazing how the government struck out 23 out of 24 times with Blagojevich and can only “get” him on “lying to the government” – with NO UNDERLYING CRIME!! This is not a moral crime like False Witness but just covering your ass while the FBI hounds you. Imagine being asked 100 questions 5 different times without an inconsistent answer! If the government lies to the people, shouldn’t the people be able to lie to the government??
How about indicting politicians for “your boys are not going to fight in foreign wars”, “Hiroshima – a military base”, “WMD / mushroom clouds”, “no new taxes” and “the stimulus is working”.
Here is a good article for the partisan neocon bimbos to read:

Of course, Fox, Dick Morris, etc. are predicting that the booboisie (American voters according to Mencken) will hand the GOP a landslide. And yet no statist program will actually get dismantled!
The amount of people sent to prison for not being guilty but having lied, kept silent or did not volunteer information is very long.
My question though is if the Democrats are not doing the stimulus right, when the Republicans get in will they have to do one to show the Dem.s how to do it right or will they (please G-d) just look back at Bush’s fondly.
The economy will bounce back, somewhat,
I believe the last president to leave a smaller government was…inadvertently Truman as he had to deal with energized Republican supermajorities in Congress who went as far as they could go to roll back the New Deal. I regard Eisenhower as a traitor in this regard, as he “made nice” with the New Deal or all of it could’ve been rolled back.
Fox News thinks they’re fair and balanced when they have a blond AND a brunette on to agree with O’Reilly. [LOL] I say they’re liars. It’s plain that Bill heavily favors blonds. [Who doesn’t?]
Thanks for the priceless menstrual cycle observation, Ilana. Priceless!
Where was the Right when Bush was selling out the country? Right Here! On FoxNews!
The menstrual cycle as economic theory, I love it! That is exactly how the assorted Keynesian talking heads present our economy.
