That’s not bad material coming from a four-eyed budget wonk like Mulvaney.
Responsible journalism demands a thorough fact check, though. While an unshaven Gowdy looks like a cross between a Civil War general and the burnt-out lead singer of a boy band, the South Carolina conservative is 53, not 60.
