TIERNEY ON BUSH
via Kevin Drum: Look, I know that conservatives are going to try and describe George Bush's Social Security plan as favorably as they can, but this is just a lie:
Democrats like to portray Mr. Bush as King George or Marie Antoinette. But on Thursday night, when he promised to improve benefits for the poor while limiting them for everyone else, he sounded more like Robin Hood....
Bush didn't promise to improve benefits for the poor, he promised to keep them exactly the same as they are under current law while reducing them for everyone else. Cut the crap, John.
