Attention Conservatives: Engage Blaming Clenis

The stockmarket, that thing the GOP is supposed to be so good for is currently about to spin below 10,000. Over the 4 years and three months of the 'Bush Appointentate' the Stock Market has managed to do jackshite, in fact it is substantially lower at present than it was under Clinton and has never really rallied much higher. Obviously, the man to blame for this anemic investment return is Bill Clinton.

Dow Jones January 19, 2001: 10,587.59

Dow Jones April 15, 2005: 10,087.51

And it doesn't look good for today, since the Japanese Nikkei has just plunged nearly 4 percent. A commensurate drop in the Dow would be down 382 points today.

Another strong argument for privatizing Social Security eh, Georgie?
