docwebsterOLBERMANN: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and, at minimum, midwife to the Social Security system, would have endorsed President Bush's plan to partially privatize it. Our third story on the Countdown -- that is the claim, anyway, of at least three conservative commentators and several Republican congressmen. But it turns out those guys pretty much just made it up. In a moment, FDR's grandson, himself a former associate commissioner for Social Security, joins us to discuss the fraud.
As the wise and holy Eschaton puts it, and I paraphrase for brevity: if Dan Rather had said something like this about Ronald Reagan, then the villagers would be out with pitchforks and torches.
Instead, nothing. Nada. Keith Olbermann and the liberal blogosphere are doing their best, but just about nobody else.
