Stupidest line of the day, so far

From MSNBC Live‘s Mika Brzezinski this morning:

“Less than an hour from now, John McCain will lay out a new plan to help Americans deal with high gas prices. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, McCain wants to eliminate the federal gas tax — that’s about 20 percent of the cost.”

The federal gasoline tax is 18.4 cents a gallon. Saturday I paid $3.20⁹ a gallon. Let’s see Mika, three point two zero nine goes into point eighteen four — gee, it’s just 5.7%.

(Not to mention that the gasoline tax goes to repair roads and bridges and we all drive too much anyway.)
