Wow. I've seen some stupid talking points in my time, but this one is right up there with the best of the best. From no less than former Bush speechwriter David Frum:
Imagine if the Republicans had retained their Congressional majority and the first thing they did was suggest big new subsidies for, say, the oil industry. Would there no public outrage?
But that’s exactly what the Democrats are now offering their staunch supporters in academia. The Democrats are proposing big new subsidies for college tuition: new loans, new grants, new tax deductions.
I'll let Carpetbagger and Ezra do the commentary duties on this one. But they are both right: we couldn't possibly be lucky enough for this to get picked up by the Republican Party as a whole. There's just no way.
