Lindsey was an economic adviser to the president, who got unceremoniously sacked FOUR YEARS AGO! This is his REVENGE, people. Wake up and open your eyes!
I agree with you, and hope this is an unfounded rumor. I'm registering my disgust with the hypothetical, in the off chance it is a trial balloon.
In the past couple of weeks, I've seen Rumsfeld dumped by the side of the road just *days* after the president said he wasn't going anywhere, and ominous noises from the Iraq Baker Group. So please forgive me if I'm a little jumpy about what might or might not be impossible for this administration to contemplate.
