This morning, we learned that in April, the economy added 290,000 jobs, the largest increase we have seen since March 2006 (when George Bush was president, and still had 33 months left to wreak his unique brand of economic destruction, which thoughtfully spared the have-a-lots while showing no mercy to the have-nots).

House Minority Leader John Boehner greeted the news by declaring: “families and small businesses continue to ask ‘where are the jobs?’”

I think the only way Boehner could be a bigger joke than he already is would be if he suddenly proclaimed that henceforth his name should be pronounced phonetically.
