I don't understand this one. The Tea Party is a peeping tom perv staring at Lady Liberty in the shower?

I take it you've never watched "Psycho".

I have. I still don't get it. The Tea Party is Norman Bates and is having lively conversations with his mother? That's ok, let it slide. No big deal. I wish they would show lady liberty a bit lower down though.I'm a sucker for tittie shots, even if it's just a cartoon.

You've got the first part right. Remember what happened to the lady in the shower?

" Pawlenty's economic plan is sheer madness. Pawlenty proposes to solve all of our nation's problems by (you guessed it) LOWERING TAXES! Its a plan so incredibly simple, he can't believe more people haven't thought of it! In his plan massively lowering taxes on the rich will both solve our deficit problems and launch us into a period of prosperity unknown in modern American history. It will cause 5 percent growth for a decade. Never mind that America hasn't seen 5% growth for any 3 consecutive years in modern history, let alone 5% growth for a decade. Pawlenty has found the secret: tax cuts for the rich. So what will these magic tax cuts look like? Let's compare them to the Bush tax cuts:

No one will ever be able to out-conservative Pawlenty on economics. As Ezra Klein says, Pawlenty makes Bush look like Robin Hood. Pawlenty basically looked at the Bush tax cuts and said "the problem with them was that they didn't give enough money to the rich, if they would only have shoveled MORE money to the top 1%, we would be in an economic paradise now. O, and these tax cuts will actually raise revenue." How does cutting taxes raise revenue? I don't know, but that cognitive dissonance makes about as much sense as anything else in his plan. The right-leaning Economist completely trashes Pawlenty's plan saying

And no matter what party you belong to, you should find it troubling that Mr Pawlenty's ridiculous economic plan could ever be considered acceptable by a large portion of the population.

But of course Pawlenty has a response to these reality-based critiques of his plan: anyone who doesn't think it will work just doesn't believe in America! "

Well, in Pawlenty's defense, the sheer madness of basing economic plans on 5% sustained growth and 2.4% sustained unemployment rates is what the entire GOP has already signed up for. That's the only way the Ryan Plan math works. That's the GOP proposal. Pawlenty is not off base here. The entire GOP is.
