Attention Orszag Groupies
EmailWhen OMB director Peter Orszag quoted Toby Keith in his testimony before the House Budget Committee yesterday — "there ain’t no right way to do the wrong thing," Orszag said — he was drawing from his own C&W lyric database.
The Princeton numbers-cruncher is a huge country fan and when he goes for runs that’s what’s in his iPod.
Expect another C&W nod today as he goes before the House Ways & Means Committee.

Is that supposed to give us confidence? It doesn’t…

And why is this news?? I’m much more interesting and have my own radio program.

I don’t understand the fascination with Orszag. I find him to be incredibly partisan and not all that bright, i.e. his budget ‘redistributes’ trillions to Democrat special interests but he goes on TV to try to say something else, but not all that effectively. Also, since we’re getting personal enough to talk about his music, can we just point out that his squeaky, high voice is incredibly annoying.

We need a hange in budgeting processes. The old way of claiming savings must go.
The current budget will “save” $1.6 trillion over 10 years by not surging in Iraq for those 10 years.
Using that logic, everyone who paid for a funeral last year will save a fortune by not paying for a funeral every year for the next 10 years.

Orzag sounds just like David Sedaris. I am a Sedaris groupie, not so much an Orzag groupie.

Who is this Orszag? Why are they interested in this guy? Never heard of him. I don’t feel confidence what they are doing now in the Captiol Hill.

I thought I heard Orszag humming the
theme song to SpongeBob Squarepants
during breaks. But that’s more nautical
in flavor than CW. Guess my hearing’s
not what it used to be…….

Yeah the guy is a grad of Princeton, the London School of Economics, and was a Marshall Scholar. Mad, your judgment that he isn’t all that bright is hilarious. Read his bio, look at his many accomplishments, his published writings, the widespread recognition of his integrity and vast intellect. Not that bright???? The guy is absolutely brilliant.
