Karma Must be a Democrat

by: Dean Barker

Sat Feb 03, 2007 at 21:28:18 PM EST


I noted earlier that the Republican plan to kill the minimum wage bill in the Senate was to introduce an unending number of amendments to it.  Well, even though he was unable to stop the bill, it looks like our Johnny Sununu got what he wanted:

Senator John Sununu has added Portsmouth (New Hampshire)'s Women's Business Center to the proposed minimum wage bill in Congress. Sununu's amendment maintains funding for the programs, which were set to expire.

And it looks like he got more than he wanted, too:

The Women's Business Center in Portsmouth is offering scholarships to a "boot camp" for entrepreneurs next month at the School of Community Economic Development at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester.

...Guest speakers include Gary Hirshberg, chief executive of Stonyfield Farm yogurt.

Nelson Muntz (4.00 / 3)
There aren't too many Nelson Muntz moments in politics, but surely this is one.

Nelson is notorious for his unabashed displays of schadenfreude, invariably accompanied by his trademark "Ha Ha!" - Wiki

Politics is like wrestling... (4.00 / 1)
Bringing a whole new meaning to a "half nelson."

Not as smart as I think I am, but not as dumb as I look.
