This is a pretty lame "scandal".

That being said, I think it's hilarious the GOP has a Jobs Caucus. It's even more hilarious that the head of the Jobs Caucus "got in some hot water back home for supporting the House GOP measure eliminating job retraining funds from the federal budget".

Lovely.

What? Who cares.

One, two, three!



Three in a row!

Go for four. Come on, you can do it. God knows, every single thing that TPM posts is inherently witty and important for everyone to hear! #OccupyFark

Not sure why so many of you are quick to dismiss this as a non-story.

It pretty much exemplifies the GOP's utter lack of a plan to challenge the Obama administration's economic policy.

It's Not News, It's

I'm as Librul as the next guy, but I gotta say this pretty weak sauce even for TPM.

whidbey: Not sure why so many of you are quick to dismiss this as a non-story.

Yes, you are.

MFAWG: but I gotta say this pretty weak sauce even for TPM.

But not for Fark!

You seem to hate TPM for no discernible reason. This isn't the first time you've complained about them without commenting on the topic at hand. If you would disagree with the actual contents of the articles instead of just going "TPM, booooo!" you wouldn't seem like such a whining child.

Don't worry, we'll probably get a JammieWearingFool link tomorrow. Or you could go back and reread that "insightful" TownHall article from earlier if that fits your delicate sensibilities better.

RexTalionis: I have a hard time caring about this. It's a job fair. Why does he need to be there?

It's just a baby. Why does he need to kiss it?

As long as we don't have federal campaign finance reform, we're going to get more Reid Ribbles.

He doesn't like TPM because it doesn't agree/confirm with his worldview

Is TPM Tuesday a day early or something?

RexTalionis: I have a hard time caring about this. It's a job fair. Why does he need to be there?

The same reason presidents get criticized for going on vacations. Same reason the BP president got his arse handed to him for yachting. Same reason the woman complains "you're not listening" if you don't stare at her face for 20 straight minutes.

You may actually care about something, but if you don't put in the face time and show visible effort, don't be surprised if people don't think you care.

This clown can't suck it up for a whole three hours at his own job fair and you guys think TPM has a problem?


I think his constituents would probably appreciate it if he could at least pretend to care enough about them enough to stick it out the whole three hours before he goes to cash in. That's some fine representin' there, Congressman.

LouDobbsAwaaaay: Crudbucket: Oh, boy. A Democrat would never do that!

Here it is again. "It's okay when we are terrible people, because hypothetically a democrat would be even worse!"

Over and over again. It's the only "defense" the GOP ever seems to come up with anymore.

Let's be completely honest: the only thing the GOP ever does anymore is make excuses. They don't govern, they spend years 'debating' and running around for future runs, and they biatch and whine whenever someone calls them out on it. They're the biggest slackers in political history. The only legislation they even bother to try and pass is more corporate handouts.

This isn't a political party, it's a retirement plan for assholes.

As much as I loth the GOP I fail to see the problem here.

He organized a job fair, he announced a job fair would happen, and a job fair happened.

Good on him.

I don't see how him being there for only most of the even diminishes that. Do I hate the fact that our reps spend so much time fund raising? YES. But I also understand that they are trapped in a broken system. That is why I support a constitutional amendment mandating public campaign finance. If we had that he could of stayed for the whole of the event then, go out and got hammered, and then vote yes on the free government blow job robots for everyone bill and then we would all be happy.

I just wanted to say, your fark handle made me laugh.

Rabbitgod: As much as I loth the GOP I fail to see the problem here.

You know, it's okay for a librul to actually consult with NEA members, we kind of encourage it.

According to Republicans, government doesn't create jobs, so it wasn't like he was going to hire anyone at the jobs fair. Better that he spend his time rubbing elbows with the bourgeoisie; after all, they're the ones who elected him.

Obama is back in Los Angeles for more fundraising for his campaign... what's the difference?

He was just there less than a month ago and raised $7m, he's baaaack.

Dag triple TPM!

It's like the Premier table circa 00's & 90's.

So a single GOP job creator goes on a campaign fundraiser and you get upset but THE STANDING PRESIDENT goes on campaigning and it's no big deal. He still has a country to (half ass -at best-) run and is doing the campaign thing.

I equate this to places putting their Christmas shiat out now. Any business who put their Christmas shiat early should lose their business license for a calender year.....

RexTalionis: I have a hard time caring about this. It's a job fair. Why does he need to be there?

More or less this. Was subby personally offended every time there was a college job fair and the dean, chair, and department heads didn't show up? Because that describes literally every job fair any institution I've ever been affiliated with has ever hosted. Hell, even the high school job fairs did not require the presence of the principle or teacher. Superintendent would show up, but I think that was because he was drinking buddies with some of the guys from the cannery.

No, no, he clearly meant Lolth, as in he wants to sacrifice them to a demonic spider diety of the underdark.

And I screwed principle/principal. Clearly I wasn't ever affiliated with an English department. Perhaps their deans always show up to play unnecessary host.

Why don't you just rename this shiatty site TPM's little FARK affiliate? It's sickening that there aren't adults with common sense in charge to put the brakes on the Leftist Admins who greenlight all this bullshiat.

They get no clicks from me, and FARK is about to get the same treatment.

Fix your Leftist bias, FARK. And fark off while you're at it.

Crude: They get no clicks from me, and FARK is about to get the same treatment.



Perhaps you would enjoy Stormfront or FreeRepublic instead. They're more your speed.

Lorelle: Typical Republican hypocrite.

Not at all... Party before country, me before you. It's SOP for the GOP.

You mad, bro?

Who would wonder such a thing? Everyone knows the GOP cares about their own jobs and that's it. Last time I checked, they didn't even remember that I'm one of their fellow Americans. I'm almost entirely certain that they would rather I just burn for eternity in a lake of fire... or some other equally shiatty thing.
