Teamster tears: Gephardt fibs about his father again
Union Leader ^ | 8/13/03

Posted on 08/13/2003 2:59:19 AM PDT by kattracks

DICK GEPHARDT got teary-eyed on Saturday when the Teamsters endorsed him for President.

“How proud my dad would be to see me here today getting the endorsement of his union that fought for him,” he said.

Yeah, right. Gephardt’s own brother refuted the myth of Gephardt’s union-proud father months ago when he told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, “My father was in the Teamsters, but that’s because he had to be to get the job. I don’t recall him talking much about the union, how great it was. He prided himself on being a Republican.”

Leave it to a politician to distort the memory of his own dead father for political gain.

That's far too cynical.

Leave it to a Democratic politician to distort the memory of his own dead father for political gain.

That's far too partisan.

Or else, far too true . . .
