Imagine if Republicans had to have a conversation about Ted Kennedy and they couldn't

mention Chappaquiddick, driving, or alcohol.

Their heads would explode.

But "The Left" is not allowed to have a conversation about the economy and mention the biggest contributions to why it's like this - George W. Bush's wars and tax cuts.

That's "ancient history", or "blaming Bush for everything". (Hey, just because we're putting the blame on Bush doesn't mean it's incorrect ... Repugs just keep denying the facts.)
