Political laugh of the day

Yeah, right, "budget discipline." Bush Jong-Il proclaiming this is like his North Korean namesake proclaiming the importance of democracy. The money quote:

Joshua Bolten, director of the Office of Management and Budget, also told Reuters in an interview that Bush’s plan to add private retirement accounts to Social Security would result in bigger deficits than the White House initially forecast, though he said this does not count as new spending.

Can you believe that any self-respecting wire service is actually stupid enough to print bullshit like this with a straight face? No, wait--I can believe it completely.
