Washington Post Grows A Pair

"It's good to see gonads gracing the Washington Post's editorial page.

True, it's on a Saturday, with lower readership, and the word "lie" doesn't actually appear, but here are the words it does use to describe President Bush's truthiness:

heckuva claim
oblivious
flat wrong
shocking...errors
fail to understand the basic facts
making things up

The topic of this particular pushback was a claim in Bush's Wall Street Journal op-ed piece that "it is... a fact that our tax cuts have fueled robust economic growth and record revenues." The Post demolishes that assertion, quoting one unassailable source after another, from the chairman of Bush's own Council of Economic Advisors, to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, to his own Treasury Department.
