Pensive Jackass

by digby

Has there ever been a slimier, more unctuous piece of work than Mike Pence, a man whose brow is permanently furrowed in an insincere expression of deep regret that he’s forced to convey such terrible news about the Democrats’ raping of the American body politic? It makes your skin crawl.

WATSON: I’m very clear that we are not talking about anywhere close to a trillion or $800 billion in new taxes…so if you’ve got data from the CBO that suggests that some of the proposals on the table…represent that much in new taxes then that’s significant new information. Where are you getting that?

PENCE: Well I don’t think that’s significant new information I think the estimates we’ve all been working with from the CBO are in the — I’m trying to remember — it’s about the $800 billion range in the estimated cost of new taxes. … That’s really all out there Carlos.

He’s just lying. But he does it well. But then his former career prepared him well for it. He was a wingnut radio gasbag.
