Here's what Hume says in his first paragraph:
"Senate Democrats gathered at the Franklin Roosevelt Memorial (search) today to invoke the image of FDR in calling on President Bush to remove private accounts from his Social Security (search) proposal. But it turns out that FDR himself planned to include private investment accounts in the Social Security program when he proposed it."
"Planned to include . . . " Like, to make them a part of the whole plan. Not to replace the plan. Clearly, Hume was saying what I thought he was saying.

Me: Hume said x, and x is wrong.
B.: Hume also said y, and y is correct.
Let me save you some trouble before you go looking for other accurate things Hume has said in an effort to drive his batting average up: I will stipulate that Hume has, in his career, said a large number of accurate statements.
Nevertheless, he's a hack.
