GOP hits Pelosi's 'hypocrisy' on wage bill

House Republicans yesterday declared "something fishy" about the major tuna company in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco district being exempted from the minimum-wage increase that Democrats approved this week.

"I am shocked," said Rep. Eric Cantor, Virginia Republican and his party's chief deputy whip, noting that Mrs. Pelosi campaigned heavily on promises of honest government.

I've got several "Pearls Before Swine" books. I love "BLTs are so darn tasty!"

This is the biggest problem I have with Republicans - they let the dumocrats set the agenda & in so doing, keep finding themselves playing defense. Losers.

Mega dittos. Republicans always win when they focus on a clear, conservative agenda.
