This week President Bush said of the Democratic-led congress that they "haven't seen a bill they could not solve without shoving a tax hike into it. In other words, they believe in raising taxes, and we don't."Um, okay. I didn't know that we "solved Congressional bills" like we solved violent crimes (although, now that I look at it, that's really not a bad metaphor!)
Anyway, back to the point - for the sake of argument, shouldn't that sound bite have gone something more like, "Democrats never met a problem they couldn't solve by shoving a tax hike into an upcoming bill?"
Or, perhaps given the President's history on this sort of thing what he really should have said was "I never met a metaphor I couldn't mangle and oh, yeah - about those Democrats..."
