Worse Than Reagan

They've tried calling President Bush stupid, but that hasn't played very well (one begins to wonder why the simple stupid man keeps beating his accusers).

They've tried calling him a dangerous extremist, but that hasn't played well either.

And now, it's on to a different tactic:

He's different from Reagan in two ways that are clearly worse," said Richard Kogan, a longtime federal budget analyst, now at the liberal Center for Budget and Policy Analysis.

Bush is "clearly worse" than Reagan! There's the new line (and I expect to see more of it as his judicial nominees are approved as well).

At least WaPo identifies the Center for Budget and Policy Analysis as liberal. All too often, liberal think tanks don't get such a label, but "conservative" ones always do.
