How high can it go?  Talk about your jobless recovery.

Republicans argue that an unemployment rate higher than it has been in more than a quarter of a century is evidence that the Democratic agenda isn’t putting Americans back to work. They say the situation will be made worse if Congress and President Obama enact a health care overhaul that will require $1 trillion in tax hikes and entitlement cuts to expand insurance coverage.

“Ten-point-two now makes it hard for the majority to sell their agenda,” said Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, the top Republican on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee.

“All I know is that Speaker Pelosi is trying to force her members to vote for a bill that the American people have soundly rejected,” added House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio).

Democrats counter that their agenda has kick-started a recovery on Wall Street, even if it hasn’t trickled down to the job market yet, and that Republicans are putting what they’ve begun at risk.

Trickle-down economics?  Trickle-down economics!  Has it really come to this?

UPDATE:  Watch this.
Yesterday, I posted on the heresy of anyone who deviates from the Obama party line.

Of course, hypocrisy walks hand-in-hand with heresy…meaning those branding others as heretics are most likely hypocrites.   Funny how that works out.

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs helpfully provides a useful example of this phenomenon in response to this weekends march on Washington by those opposed to Obama-care:

“I will continue to say what I’ve said before. You hear in this debate, you hear analogies, you hear references to, you see pictures about and depictions of individuals that are truly stunning, and you hear it all the time. People — imagine five years ago somebody comparing health care reform to 9/11. Imagine just a few years ago had somebody walked around with images of Hitler.

Hopefully we can get back to a discussion about the issues that are important in this country that we can do so without being personally disagreeable and set up comparisons to things that were so insidious in our history that anybody in any profession or walk of life would be well advised to compare nothing to those atrocities.”

Yes, let’s imagine, shall we:

Plenty more where those came from, but you get the idea.  Oh, and you won’t want to miss this gem.
And these demonstrators got a free pass from the media, whereas one ignorant person shows up at tea party rally and everyone there is a racist hick.  Or worse.  Yeah, Jon Voight gave a speech at the demonstration and it was all Gibbs could do to keep from humming the Deliverance theme.

It’s bad enough that we have a bunch of incompetents running the show in Washington.  Did we have to get incompetent children?  Spoiled, petulant children.

God save us.
