NCLB and Iraq Are Working--Stay the Course

Contrary to all the empirical evidence that their own government has accumulated, George and Margaret insist that their failed policies and costly adventures are working and that nothing should be done to alter their continued imaginary success. From the AP:

Accountability for everyone--except George and Margaret, of course.
