Deficit THIS

By GottaLaff

See how liberally biased Reuters is? At least that's what we should soon be hearing from those pesky Rushpublics once they get an eyeful of this:


No matter how they try to deny it, this is what the Obama administration got stuck with. And digging ourselves out of this won't happen overnight.

Clear? Clear.

Reagan, Bush 41 advisers: Subjecting "czars" to Senate confirmation could be unconstitutional

By GottaLaff



Say you're czar-ry, Rushpubs:

In today’s Washington Post, attorneys David B. Rivkin Jr. and Lee A. Casey, who served under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush [...] argue that in fact, subjecting all these advisers to a Senate confirmation process would perhaps be unconstitutional:

The White House czars are presidential assistants charged with responsibility for given policy areas. As such, they are among the president’s closest advisers. In many respects, they are equivalent to the personal staff of a member of Congress. To subject the qualifications of such assistants to congressional scrutiny — the regular confirmation process — would trench upon the president’s inherent right, as the head of an independent and equal branch of the federal government, to seek advice and counsel where he sees fit.

Czar(ry) seems to be the hardest word.

Oh, and in case anyone forgot:
