Chess Versus Crazy Eights

Democrats like Obama play chess.

Republicans like Mary Matalin on the other hand are playing Crazy Eights.

I was there. We inherited a recession from President Clinton and we inherited the most tragic attack on our own soil in our nation's history. And President Bush dealt with it. And within a year of his presidency at this comparable time, unemployment was at 5 percent. And we were creating jobs.

And the great thing about it is a grand total of zero people on CNN's Sunday show called her on it.  Republicans are genetically incapable of accepting responsibility for anything, and it's precisely because our "liberal media" won't do a single thing about it.  The entire statement is a lie (even the unemployment part, it was almost 6% then.)  Every sentence in that statement is in fact a lie with the exception of "I was there."  The following sentences clearly cast doubt on the veracity of the first one.

And yet, Mary Matalin is a Serious Washington Insider Pundit.  The entire eight years of Bush's Presidency and the first year of Obama's was in fact all Bill Clinton's fault according to her.

Can we exchange our pundit class this week in the stores?
