Gene Sperling had on op-ed piece in Sunday's Washington Post offering an alternative to the Bush Tax cut that Democrats would probably be well-advised to adopt.

The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz pointed me to this column by Salon's Joe Conason -- and this damn lie -- a kind that is too common nowadays.
