Krugman: Simpson’s gotta go:
When you have a commission dedicated to the common good, and the co-chair dismisses Social Security as a “milk cow with 310 million tits,” you either have to get rid of him or admit that you’re completely, um, cowed by the right wing, that IOKIYAR rules completely.
And no, an apology won’t suffice. Simpson was completely in character here; it was perfectly consistent with everything else he’s said, and with his previous behavior. He has to go.
It’s “teats,” you crazy old bastard.
.
And of course – not to mention Alan Simpson’s own sucking at and on the government tit (sic) for how long now? Oh yeah, this is SOOO Alan Simpson.
