Clinton discounts economists in gas tax debate

"Pressed to name an economist who supports her plan to temporarily suspend the federal gas tax, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said today that commuters, truck drivers and other gas customers know it would make a difference.

“We have to get out of the mindset where somehow elite opinion is always on the side of doing things that really disadvantage the vast majority of Americans,” Clinton said during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in downtown Indianapolis."

Translation: Who CARES what the experts say?

This shit is getting me votes.

"Stephanopoulos pointed out that radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has encouraged Republicans to vote for Clinton to divide the Democratic Party, prompting one of the lighter moments of the show.

“He’s always had a crush on me,” Clinton said, as the room of about 200 people erupted into laughter."

The only crush Limbaugh is capable of delivering revolves around his own considerable girth. C'mon, Hillary. Rush is pretty much incapable of fawning over anyone other than himself.
