Phillip Swagel: Worst Government Spokesman Ever

By cvining Fri, 07/04/2008 - 14:45

Talk about nervous. Assistant Treasury Secretary Phillip Swagel seems to have been the only guy in town the other day after the latest bad employment report came out. So he had to give the press conference. Watch the video associated with the Washington Post column by Dana Milbank. Couldn't have been more nervous if he was 16 at his first job interview.

But I'll give him this much. At least he recognizes the economy is in trouble, unlike so many other Bushies. He just doesn't understand where the administration went so wrong.
