BTW, Gateway Pundit doesn't know what “doubled” means

As noted below, Gateway's Jim Hoft recently posted a tribute to George W. And in doing so, Hoft decided (again) to just make stuff up [emphasis added]:

It' seems like forever.
A year ago President George W. Bush left the White House. Since that time the unemployment has nearly doubled, the national deficit has tripled, government has grown in leaps and bounds, and the current president has blamed his predecessor for every problem he has encountered.

Wow, that is bad: unemployment doubled last year. No wonder voters are so angry!

Fact: When Bush left office, unemployment stood at 7.6 percent.

Fact: Unemployment today is not 15.2 percent, which means it hasn't “doubled.” And it hasn't even “nearly doubled.”

Fact: Hoft will never, ever correct his glaring error.
