Tarheel Logic

While we managed to get rid of the Wicked Witch of the South, the crazy aunt in the attic is still at large in the halls of Congress. Yes, our own Virginia Foxx (no relation to Redd) is hard at work weaving that special brand of North Carolina logic and reason we know so well.

This tidbit from the Times story on the House stimulus vote just bowls you over:

Representative Virginia Foxx, Republican of North Carolina, said that former President George Bush’s signature tax cuts in 2001 had created years of growth but that the nation’s problems started when Democrats regained majorities in Congress in the 2006 elections.

Really? So the Democrats came into office and a housing bubble retroactively inflated and began to pop? Mortgage-backed assets worth trillions less than their stated value just magically appeared on bank balance sheets and in hedge fund portfolios?

Well, I did my best in the last election.

funny. can anyone remember anything the Demos actually did after 2006?
