Can you imagine what the MSM would do with numbers like this if Bush were still president, or if any Republican were in the White House?
I fully expect the media to cover the news of rising jobless claims as a disaster for Republicans -- an unexpected crisis stemming from the temper tantrum of the voters who put Republicans in charge of everything. Chickens will come home to roost while Republicans attend lavish parties, worst economy since Hoover (he was a Republican), looming decade of economic irrelevancy thanks to the Republicans, blacks and women hit hardest, blah,blah, Republican, blah.
