Unfortunately, good people can write about union thuggery and corruption until they are blue in the face and nothing will change. The reason is similar to the reason Clinton's support barely faltered even after he was caught with his pants down, jerking into the oval office sink, and accused of rape by a very credible woman. Mary Matalin had it nailed - - nobody expected anything better from Clinton. Everybody
knew Clinton was a scumbag from the very beginning and he simply lived down to their expectations. Nothing he did came as a big surprise. Bill Bennett called this phenomenom "the death of outrage", but that was only part of the story. Fact is, if any Republican had been accused of a fraction of what Clinton did, the outrage would have been palpable (especially in the scumbag liberal newsrooms, lol).
And so it is, too, with the unions. They have been crooked for so long, stealing from the rank and file, skimming pension plans, supporting America-hating Democrats who would destroy the capitalist, free market economy that has propelled this country to superpower status, that nobody expects any better from them. So another union president went to jail? (yawn) So local (whatever) is controlled by the mob? (yawn) So the AFL-CIO is embroiled in a campaign money-laundering scheme with the Democrats again? (yawn)
There is simply no surprise here, let alone outrage. The union scumbags are only doing what everybody expects them to do. This is why they are so comfortable in their cozy long-term relationship with the party of scumbags, the Democrats.
$460,000 over 6 years? A bet any scumbag CEO spends that on a weekend. And its NOT his or hers money.Why dont you go to work today?
