Karl Rove is Still Lying

How do you tell when Karl Rove is lying? His lips are moving. He goes after Obama in a column in the WSJ, writing:


"On Tuesday night, Mr. Obama told Congress and the nation, 'I reject the view that . . . says government has no role in laying the foundation for our common prosperity.' Who exactly has that view? Certainly not congressional Republicans, who believe that through reasonable tax cuts, fiscal restraint, and prudent monetary policies government contributes to prosperity."

Okay, so the Obama stim package has the largest tax cut in history and that's "unreasonable?" Bobby Jindal provides the official GOP response with an opening anecdote to remind everyone how ineffective government was in responding to Hurricane Katrina and that anecdote wasn't intended to de-legitimize government's role in aiding its citizens? (nor was the anecdote really, well, true.) And aren't most of the "congressional Republicans" in Congress today the same ones who earmarked and abetted George W. Bush's spending binge that left us $4 TRILLION in debt?

Does anyone take Karl Rove seriously anymore? The bloom is off this turd blossom and only the turd remains.
