Pink Slipped in a Red State

Via Atrios and Counterspin, news that the Timkin Company, a speciality steel manufacturer visited by pResident George W. Bush last year, is shutting down. Bush visited the plant last August to showcase his economic plan.

How's that for truth in politics. Vote Bush--he'll eliminate your job.

By the way, Hesiod added a link to Bush's own website that touted the visit. Recall, it was last August. There are plenty of contenders for the Bushism, but I think this one wins: "we have finished a war -- in the process of finishing a war in Iraq."

Really?
