Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion

Yesterday, Senator John McCain was giving a political speech in front of the AFL-CIO’s Building and Construction Trades Department, when he blasted American workers as lazy, ungrateful people incapable of doing a good day’s work

Senator McCain said it was necessary for farmers to employ illegal aliens because American workers are too lazy and wimpy. McCain thought that he was being clever when he rhetorically offered to pay anyone in the audience 50 dollars an hour to pick lettuce.

McCain was surprised when members of the audience took him up on the offer, saying they’d be happy to work for that kind of pay. McCain then pulled back and refused to honor the deal, saying that American workers just can’t hack it. “You can’t do it, my friends,” he said to the audience.

Jeez, what a jerk. We’re supposed to support John McCain for President when he runs around insulting American workers like that? What’s next? Is he going to call American mothers a bunch of stupid whores?

Keep it up, Senator McCain. Soon, no one will have to bother campaigning against you.
