If You Want To Help, Try Getting A Better Copy Editor

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:

1. Cut taxes on the rich.
2. ???
3. A rising tide lifts all boats.

Fin.  Exeunt.
