I’m so disgusted with this.

Fred Upton’s certainly wasted no time touting his new clout. On his Facebook page he links to this editorial:

From The Detroit News: http://detnews.com/article/20110811/OPINION01/108110341/Camp—Upton-bring-level-heads-to-Super-Committee#ixzz1UnDjyu1e

(Gannett paper so link only)

Can't really compare linking to a major newspaper editorial about you with using your supercommittee status in a fundraising letter.

The editorial is stupid though.

Jobs should be a primary focus of the Super Committee.

In no way, shape, or form is "jobs" on the table for the super committee. It's tasked only with finding more trillions in offsets (via "cuts" or "revenues") over 10 years. Nothing more, nothing less.

The Detroit News editorial board should be fired.
