heard on the radio

The new majority leader in Congress is making a weekly session schedule that would have the reps working almost five days a week instead of, as last year, almost two. Last year's Congress was in session 103 days, which is less than "the famous Do Nothing Congress of 1948". Georgia Republican Jack Kingston has been quoted, "Keeping us up here eats away at families. Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families -- that's what this says."

You can't write material like this.

Wait... he's saying that working five days a week is a bad thing? That family life will suffer as a result of the extra work load?

AND, that it's the Democrats' fault?


This is going to explode like the Royal Family's income taxes, isn't it?

...And (correct me if I'm wrong) these are the same people who've been going on and on (and on) about how the Democrats are "out of touch with mainstream America," right?

BTW, scarfman, what radio station did you hear this on?

I heard it on The Todd & Tyler Radio Empire. It's the sort of rocknroll station morning show in which the legitimate newsguy sidekick picks out the stories he knows the liberal pottymouth hosts will slag on. It originates on an FM station here in Omaha but it's also simulcast on an AM sports station, and has recently been syndicated to a station in some middle-sized town in Missouri.
