The Conservative Fool Of The Day is...Tom Davis!

Did you know the economy is in tiptop shape?

It is according to right-wing Rep. Tom Davis (R-Virginia). Davis says times have never been better!

How does he know this?

Because things are doing just fine in Fairfax County, Virginia. Which just happens to be the richest county in the entire United States.

Seriously. He thinks that because everything is going so well in America's richest county (much of which is in his district), that's a sign that the national economy is doing just as great.

He made this statement during a conference call arranged by the McCain campaign.

Still don't believe the Republicans are out-of-touch elites? Davis boasted that Fairfax County has "362 foreign-owned companies and tens of thousands of employees with foreign-owned firms."

Where's the American-owned companies, Tom?

Fairfax County's affluence reflects rich corporate lobbyists and executives of these foreign firms - not average workers.

I guess that in the mixed-up world of Tom Davis, as go executives, as goes America, huh?
