“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Two great tastes

I guess the combined approval rating of Tom DeLay and Social Security privatization is up above 50%, so it would only make sense to combine two things unpopular on their own into one big campaign stop.

Other than the President showing support for Tom DeLay, I'm not sure how this helps either side. Bush's approval rating still hovers in the high 40's, not enough to drag Tommy Boy's name out of the muck. DeLay has his own ethics battle and pulic mistrust problems going on, so I'm not sure how he helps sell privatization to the masses.
