I am sure if a Democrat would have made fun of the rich people, Bush would have kept him also!

So quit whining about Obama keeping Simpson!

1. Had a Democrat made a statement remotely like Simpson's, this administration would have fired them

That much is clear from similar instances on the record.

It's gotten to the point where it's beyond poor judgment- but moving into the questions about character.

3. No they wouldn't have

The only thing that would make this adminstration fire someone is if they said or did something that upset the right wing noise machine.

Had anyone on the Catfood Commission come out today and said "Social Security is wonderful and we on the Deficit Commission really shouldn't even be discussing - but maybe we should raise the income cap."

The explosion from the right about a commissioner coming to a conclusion before all the "facts" had been considered would have resulted in that person being gone by breakfast tomorrow morning.

5. Bingo.

2. And how many Democrats did bush have working with/for him??

4. Gee, I kind of expect better from a Democrat,

I guess I have higher standards.
