The Washington Times has the latest from Virginia Democrat and Governor Mark Warner:

Virginia Gov. Mark Warner said yesterday elected officials should quit using phrases such as "user fees" and "revenue enhancements" and instead call them what they are - taxes. [...]

"You've got to be straight with the people," Mr. Warner told a gathering of about 120 at a Democratic Leadership Council luncheon in Northwest.

On the campaign trail, Mark Warner promised, "I will not raise taxes! I will not raise taxes! I will not raise taxes!". Once he reached office, Warner pushed for the largest tax increase in Virginia history, which a month later turns out not to have even been needed.

How he managed to say that without his pants bursting into flames is beyond me.
