Just wondering: Why is everyone saying "Bowles-Simpson" now, instead of Simpson Bowles?
Simpson was the chair of that commission.

I noticed it first with Romney. This morning, I heard Chuck Toad, Schumer and Van Hollen all saying "Bowles-Simpson?"

Anyone know what that oddity is all about?

1. Because Bowles is the less repulsive of the two?
But still repulsive.

2. I'm thinking its some more nefarious reason, but maybe I have just
become too suspicious.

3. So they can claim the commission's
recommendations are a Democratic Party idea after they are adopted? Bowles being the "Democrat", lol.
