Speaking of getting news from the AP, look here at what came up on the newswire.
The White House will project soon that this year's federal deficit will exceed $420 billion, congressional aides said, a record figure certain to ignite partisan warfare over President Bush (news - web sites)'s handling of the economy.
Well, fuck. Who would have thought...
Either way, the White House was ready to emphasize that the figure is well below the $521 billion it projected for this year last February, and tie it to improvements in the economy.
Oh, okay. But...
Democrats have said Bush purposely overestimated this year's budget gap so he could take credit for improvement when the real figures came in.
But he's never exaggerated before about anything. Why would he start now?
