Treasury Secretary Snow -- Fresh off the Wire:

12:29pm 03/08/04 SNOW: FED HAS NOT OVERREACTED, HAS BEEN 'DISCIPLINED'

12:26pm 03/08/04 SNOW: UNDERLYING CONDITIONS IN U.S. ECONOMY 'SOUND'

12:18pm 03/08/04 SNOW: MAKING TAX CUTS PERMANENT IS KEY TO ECONOMY

12:17pm 03/08/04 SNOW SAYS HE IS A 'DEFICIT HAWK'

12:16pm 03/08/04 SNOW REPEATS VOW TO CUT U.S. DEFICIT IN HALF IN 5 YEARS

I'm from Missouri, John. Show me.

Deficit hawk? Maybe 'hawk' has a new definition in this Administration. Ya gotta be kiddin' me.

Anyone want to take a bet that halving the deficit whilst making Bush's tax cuts permanent is 'doable?'

The tax cuts are the largest contributor to the deficit.

Dear Mr. Snow,

Please resign now.

Love,

Todd
