Experts Shmexperts

The Clinton campaign has officially become a Bush-Rove Republican campaign. Regarding that gas tax holiday -- a plan which every expert agrees is a boondoggle:

"We believe the presidency requires leadership," said Wolfson. "There are times that a president will take a position that a broad support of quote-unquote experts agree with. And there are times they will take a position that quote-unquote experts do not agree with."

Uh-huh. Sounds like the Bush administration on -- oh, let's say... everything. Start with Iraq and run down the list to torture and the climate crisis. Bush Republicans hate quote-unquote experts. They hate them so much that they also hate anyone who's an expert in using the phrase "quote-unquote".

I'd prefer my (estimated savings of) $17.94 stay in the highway fund 'cause we've got some interstates and bridges here in CT that ain't looking so good. And I kinda like that idea that my giving up my $17.94 means that approx. 300K people can keep their jobs.

McCain this morning said that the savings would allow a family to take a child out for a nice dinner or maybe take a trip somewhere. $17.94. Where the fuck would anyone spend that windfall??
Clinton really can't be that stupid to not have run the numbers, can she? (I'm not questioning McCain's intelligence on this...)

BTW, filled up the tank in Northampton, MA today - $3.50 a gallon! And I was happy to see it! How pathetic is that?!
