Look what likely Pres. candidate Pawlenty has to say about public unions:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

"The case for organized labor can't be made for these pampered employees," he says. Government employees shouldn't be allowed to have unions because they already make too much money and they don't work in factories like regular blue-collar union people, he says.

Pawlenty, our outgoing governor, has just about succeeded in turning Minnesota into a cold Alabama (no offense to Alabama). He's done everything he could to bust the unions, impoverish the public schools, cut off benefits to people who need them most, and gut the state's infrastructure (remember that freeway bridge collapse?). He'll do it to the rest of the country if he ever gets to be President.

Of course, I suppose most of the other Republicans would do the same thing... Still, he's much more awful than that folksy, friendly demeanor and mullet haircut would suggest. Watch out for this asshole.

1. So what does he say about the players union for the Minnesota Vikings?. . .

I'm sure that would win him converts aplenty in his own hometown.

Easy to pick on "faceless bureaucrats." Let's see him dis Bret Favre.

2. Please keep that on the back burner

It can be useful if he runs. :-)

3. The sick fuck actually makes the case for government employee unions.

Without them, bastards like Pawlenty would strip us of what approach a fair level of wages and benefits.
