I called, please call. Told them I am ready to go.. They blew me off and said they are taking comments.

Can't wait for McCain's sound bite on the Sunday morning shows.....

Call the state offices, of course, they are all on vacation from DC...

$50/hr x 40 hrs/week = $2000/week x 50 weeks = $100,000 a year. Yeah, I'll take that.

It's not the lettuce job that people don't want -- it's living in Arizona, home to that idiot McCain.

McCain knows about picking lettuce - his buddies picked all kinds of Federal Reserve lettuce during the Keating Five scandals.

LOL!

Is this stunt going to blow up in his face or what?

I can't imagine a better way to get an extra 50,000 illegals crossing the border just at the thought.

What an idiot!

They only pick lettuce from the end of November to the middle of March in Yuma.

Is the catch just that it's a fraudulent offer, or is there something else?

I'd pick lettuce for $50 an hour..

Thanks for the reminder. He was just picking Iceberg Lettuce that invaders were unable to pick.

I wonder how many weeks a year you can pick lettice - what if picking season is only 10 weeks?

The nitwit made that "offer" over a week ago. I'm surprised it didn't show up here sooner. I haven't seen much of it in any of the so called media. I wouldn't spend too much time looking for it in the Sunday shows.

At $50 an hour, you know it's gotta be government lettuce.

I'd rather pick ILLEGAL aliens out of society and deport them for $50/hour.
