When we saw that White House spokesman Tony Fratto said this today about what Chuck Schumer has been saying recently …

“The critics out there have been pretty irresponsible with their language, not only in talking about a recession. We have people like Chuck Schumer talking about the Great Depression. Well, I can tell you, my dad was around during the Great Depression and he would have loved to have seen 5 percent unemployment instead of the 20 percent or 25 percent unemployment that we saw in the Great Depression. So there’s been some irresponsible chatter from people like Chuck Schumer and others.”

… we immediately thought of what Schumer has been saying before:

“Biking through New York’s boroughs in 2005, I thought about some old friends, Joe and Eileen Bailey. Though they are imaginary, I frequently talk to them.”

Apparently the Baileys have been chattering on the economy as well.
