In looking over a Bloomberg News report on the latest good news on the job-growth front, I came across this bizarre piece of garble:

"In every single month of this administration, we haven't seen the creation of a single manufacturing job in America,'' Kerry, 60, said in an e-mailed statement.

Is Kerry really saying that not one manufacturing job has been created in any month of the last 3+ years? Or that there's been no net gain over that period, or in any month of that period . . . This pileup of double negatives is impossible to argue with because it's incoherent. Now, people make fun of "Bushims" that come out when Bush makes a verbal miscue, often when speaking extemporaneously. But at least when Bush and his team issue something in writing, it sounds good, because Bush hires writers who can, you know, write.
