Steve M. catches the
GOP being the Party Of So Last Year (literally) as at today's GOP House Asskicking By Obama that ol' Orange John hands Obama the GOP Manual:
BOEHNER: ... We've compiled the summaries of [our] alternatives into a document that we call, appropriately, "Better Solutions." ... So, Mr. President, I'm pleased today to present you with a copy of our "Better Solutions." ...
Now, could that be the one Stephen Colbert described last night as containing a mere nine pages of solutions, "along with stock photography and the kinds of generous margins usually reserved for eight-grade term papers"? Well, no -- the handbook available here is newer. It's dated today and is a whopping thirty pages long (though that includes cover, back cover, and a six-page list of economists who back the GOP's ideas). The margins are narrow and there are no pictures.
However, I can't help noticing that this oh-so-timely proposal mocked last night by Colbert...
... is still in there:
All heart, these Republicans. I hope the president enjoys his reading.
Well to be honest, Steve...Republicans can't really read, so I'm sure they missed it all too. Me, I can save the GOP some money next time they go down to FedEx Kinko's:
The GOP plan on the economy:
- Cut taxes on the rich.
- ???
- A rising tide lifts all boats.
Fin. Exeunt.
