Republican Work Ethic

Monday, December 11th, 2006

The outgoing 109th congress set the record for the laziest in US history by working an average of just 1 day a week. The Democratic leadership is making a big deal of the fact that they are returning to a five-day work week starting from January 4th.

Naturally, many Congressmen consider this to be completely unreasonable. The most amusingly out-of-touch comment came from Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) who strongly opposes a work week of more than one day because

“Keeping us up here eats away at families… Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families — that’s what this says.”

Poor baby.
