Teamsters President James P. Hoffa, left, Edwin Stier, a former federal prosecutor, next to Hoffa, and others, arrive for a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington Thursday, Oct. 3, 2002 to discuss a report, "The Teamsters: Perception and Reality." The image of the Teamsters union has become a caricature of mob influence, corruption, violence and intimidation. Some of that was earned, although that perception is no longer true, says the new union-commissioned report released Thursday.The study was led by Stier and his law firm which is paid by the Teamsters for its assistance in developing, implementing and enhancing the union's 1999 internal anti-racketeering program.(AP Photo/Susan Walsh)

"And if'n yer don't accept that," the report went on to say, "we're gonna break both yer kneecaps!"

Gee, maybe if you weren't thug, bully, liars and cheaters people would like you more, Mr. Modern Union Leader. Getting the H. out of the way of our Homeland Security and NOT working to destroy our national economy for partisan political purposes would be a start.

Too long a caption?
