PICK IT UP AND PASS IT ALONG

Via Atrios, the New York Times is helpful for once. As Reagan tried to classify ketchup as a vegetable, Bush tries to classify flipping burgers as "manufacturing jobs":

Counting jobs at McDonald's, Burger King and other fast-food enterprises alongside those at industrial companies like General Motors and Eastman Kodak might seem like a stretch, akin to classifying ketchup in school lunches as a vegetable, as was briefly the case in a 1981 federal regulatory proposal.

He's "out of touch with mainstream American values."

...Nick Confessore:

Another question: Is there anybody on the Bush administration's economic team thinking about ways to create new jobs, instead of thinking about ways to fool people into thinking they've created new jobs?
