Talking out of both sides of your mouth?

It's hard to pin them down on it, but Republicans have a hard time squaring the fact that their spending cut plans will cost jobs with their broader message that President Obama's stimulus plan harmed the economy.

At his weekly Capitol briefing with reporters Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell stumbled into this contradiction.

"I can't guarantee that somebody's job might [not] be affected by reducing government spending," McConnell acknowledged.

But John Bohner already told us how he feels about those losing their job...SO BE IT.

In fact, though the Fed Chairman said GOP cuts wouldn't fully upend the recovery, he told members of Congress that their plan would cost hundreds of thousands of jobs and harm GDP.
