From Roger Ailes, here's something you don't see every day:
WASHINGTON - Talk about bad economic indicators: A top congressional economist was nabbed trying to steal a fancy plasma TV from a Capitol Hill committee room.
"I guess he was practicing a new theory called trickle-up economics," cracked Dan McGlinchey, a longtime aide to Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) who helped collar the alleged thief after a chase through the Rayburn House Office Building.
Tom Loo, chief economist for the Small Business Committee, was arrested after running into a gaggle of Capitol Hill police officers, who promptly tackled him.
Actually, I think Loo's biggest mistake was ignoring the dictum--I'll use a Bob Dylan lyric as an example--that only the low-level crooks get caught:
Steal a little and they throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king
Tom, there's a guy in the executive branch that you could learn A LOT from...
