Outsourcing bad...good...bad...good...

Remember John Kerry's bunny/sperm suit? Maybe that was a huge "Depends" body garment, specially designed by NASA for the Democrat presidential nominee because he is thoroughly, totally, and completely full of shit:

"U.S. businesses understand the benefits and values of outsourcing, the [Indian Finance] minister said, "For every dollar outsourced by the US business, it gets back five to ten dollars." This view was tacitly encouraged by none other than Strobe Talbott, a Kerry adviser and former top State Department official in the Clinton administration, who paid a visit to New Delhi last month.

According to the New Kerala news site, Talbott said that India need not worry about the controversy over business process outsourcing "getting out of hand" if Kerry was elected. Talbott said "Kerry understood 'the economic good reason of trading through outsourcing as a necessity despite his political opposition,' and, added, that on the advice of his economists, he had left enough room to change his policy."

D'ya s'pose the President will mention this tomorrow night?

If he doesn't, he's a damn fool.
