I can't resist pointing out this inadvertent gem that escaped White House Press Secretary Tony Snow on a conference call a few minutes ago previewing the details of President Bush's State of the Union.

Asked whether Bush's new healthcare proposal is the same type of sacred cow issue that will go the way of the President's 2005 plan to overhaul Social Security, Snow responded: "The Republican leadership made the decision not to bring up Social Security. We don't have that problem anymore."
