Uh, oh

Liberal columnist alert!

On a recent trip to Memphis Phil Bredesen, the former mayor and
presumptive Democratic Party nominee for governor next year,
said the state does not need an income tax.

According to an article in the Memphis Flyer, an alternative
newspaper, Bredesen said the budget problem is a management
problem not a tax reform problem. He offered himself as the
candidate with the background to put the state's house in order
and fix problems like TennCare.

This is interesting because when Republicans say these things
liberal newspaper columnists around the state attack them as being
stupid, accuse them of not understanding the problem and being
cowards for not facing up to the need to pass an income tax.

He's saying TennCare is wrecking the budget? Bredesen?

What's a liberal to do?

Well, no doubt we will have a spate of articles pointing out that
Bredesen is a neanderthal who doesn't grasp the problem. He's
a talk radio addicted redneck who shouldn't be allowed into the
solons of the intellectual elite.

Yeah. Just any day now.
