Oh, I forgot, we are supposed to be "classy" -- like Bush! Maybe if he had opened up his mouth, it would have been newsworthy enough for even the MSM to cover it, and truth would have received a witness. As it is, we are all still waiting, hoping the Republicans will find their tongues. Where are the Republicans at about this and all the other Democratic fingerprints on our economic crisis?!?
