Who cares if we're like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, careening in his pickup toward the brink of the rock quarry? At least we're moving fast!
That seemed to be Claire Shipman's logic in urging speed in the implementation of the stimulus plan. The ABC correspondent made her curious comment today during the roundtable segment of This Week.
CLAIRE SHIPMAN: I think that, I mean as George [Will] said, given that nobody knows the outcome, it seems as though the most important thing is speed here.
Will made the logical response.

Should we laugh or cry? Ping to Today show list.
LOL, Mark, when I heard that I wondered how long before you had it up on the web.
Too bad this dire emergency plan won’t even begin to take effect till next year or later.
Shipman exposes the inanity of the porkulus.
Democrats have no plan other to spend until bankrupt.
Oh, and the interesting thing is, we do know. We have the New Deal to instruct us along with the tax cutting done by JFK, Reagan and Bush. We know what works to improve the economy, and it isn’t government spending
Claire must have gone to one of those elite schools where they teach deconstructed history where up is down.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: "Even the critics of the first bail-out say that the alternative very well could have been worse because we could have had an absolute collapse of the market".
Note to Prof. Reich: once you've wasted a trillion or so, your ability to try other options is kind of limited.
These people are really dumber than a box of rocks. How long do ya think it’ll take ‘em to start pitching a new, even bigger stimulus after this one becomes law? My guess is within 6 months.
I’m so predictable ;-)

NOW WE KNOW WHAT A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER DOES
OBAMA, THE STOCK MARKET, AND ENERGY
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S UPBRINGING
Translation:
Oh, no. The public is figuring out that we are really doing nothing to help the economy! We better hurry up before all support goes away!
What insanity.
Didn’t they all furrow their brows and shake their pointy little heads when they said that bush rushed us into a war with Iraq without having an exit plan? How was that any different then what they are doing now with the porkulous plan?
Speed is all important to this administration because the more they debate the stimulus the more people will find out what is really going on.
While Claire Shipman’s remarks were appalling, just listen to the outrageous remarks by Barney Frank on Meet the Press today. Frank was attempting to equate Republicans long term increases on military spending and national defense, with the Democrats current “stimulus” package of pork barrel socialism.
Frank and his liberal comrades don’t see the defense of America as a Constitutional duty, but national socialism is just fine by them. Old Barney thinks Marx trumps Jefferson. LOL
