Austan Goolsbee -- Spinning Like a Top
Fox News ^ | September 13, 2010 | John R. Lott Jr.

With President Obama's poor record on the economy, it isn't too surprising that he would want Mr. Austan Goolsbee to put a positive spin on the current economic conditions. Mr. Goolsbee, whose academic work was known for supposedly showing that increased tax rates didn't effect how hard people worked, has now been appointed as the head of the president's Council of Economic Advisors. But Goolsbee has become quite practiced for his ability to "spin" the news, not for his accuracy.

We got a taste of his talents when he made the rounds on the Sunday talk shows rounds yesterday. On Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace asked Goolsbee . . .

Goolsbee spounted the same sentence over & over & over again.

I have NEVER heard such gobbdygook from an adult human in my life.

He isn’t even CLUELESS—he is worse than that.

Old saying” “He’s not out to lunch: He’s not even back from breakfast, yet. “

It was as tho a wind up parrot was turned loose on the airwaves.
If I were his parent, I would have been embarrassed beyond words.

Whatever tuition this jerk paid for an education, he better get his money back. He didn’t learn a thing.

He lies, just like his boss. Why am I not surprised?

Maybe this is the reason Romer stepped down. Even she couldn’t go back to liberal Berkeley after spewing bile like this.

Yes, he continued the mantra of “paying for tax cuts” as though not taking money from people was akin to entitlement spending.

In the Obama administration, spinners are winners (viz. Robert Gibbs, Joe Biden, Austan Goolsbee).

He's another Ivy League einstein, born and bred in an airtight belljar, never has had a day's experience in the real world of work. Academic hot-house mutant, just like his name.
