I've never pitied his kids before, but their concept of "honesty" must be profoundly warped.

True that...and in the back of my mind there echoes the words, "There is only so much shit we will eat". Someday...hopefully soon.

But but but don't you see:

taxing billionaires = gimmick; assuming everyone understands oil price manipulation happens = gimmick keeping college from being obscenely unaffordable* = gimmick

stealing from kids to pay off oil barons = good policy

* because God knows it's damned close to obscenely unaffordable already.

This reminds me of when the Repubicans were all worked up about a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. What a gimmick! If they have the votes for that, they certainly have the votes to simply pass a balanced budget.

Or when they said Ann Romney is the hardest working woman in the world. What a gimmick!

How about the bill to defund teleprompters?
