GINGRICH DROPS THE SUBTLETY...."The Bush-Obama big government"

[kpete]

GINGRICH DROPS THE SUBTLETY.... Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has an op-ed in the far-right Washington Times today, complaining about, well, a whole lot of things. But he's especially worked up about President Obama's efforts to stimulate the economy, and his piece uses a subtle attack. See if you can pick up on the phrase he wants readers to remember:

The Bush-Obama big government, big bureaucracy, politician-empowering, high-tax, high-inflation and high-interest-rate system continues to grow and to place the country in greater and greater danger from inflation, bureaucratic control of the economy, political interference in every aspect of our lives and massive debt.

The first job of the conservative movement is simply to tell the truth about how bad these Bush-Obama proposals are.... President Obama represents continuity rather than change. The new spending bill (as the president called it in his Williamsburg speech last week) is more of the Bush-Obama continuity and represents more of the same instead of "change you can believe in."

Ol' Newt is nothing if not subtle.

To hear the ethically-challenged former Speaker tell it, the problem with Obama's economic agenda is that it's too similar to George W. Bush's economic agenda.

1. That's just pitiful. Is that the best he's got?

13. Republicons just spent 8 years proving they are the party of Big Government

Big Brother and wild borrow-and-spend economic idiocy. But of course they cannot own their own shitty truth -- and have to lie and project it onto others. Just pathetic.

They are a lying pack of Draft-dodging, wife-abusing wankers.

5. And the Republicans enabled Bush to have that big government.

So why would future Republicans be any different?

Sorry, Newt, it don't hold water.

6. "High interest rate.."???

We have historically low interest rates. Reagan and bush 41 had staggering interest rates. Such a moron.

I wrote an OP about it at the time, marveling that he was able to say this with a straight face.
