Lobbyists Donate Used Suits to Unemployed
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Bring me your silk Armanis, your charcoal Hugo Bosses and your tailored Prada couture three-button suits. The American League of Lobbyists is urging members to give the shirts, suits, belts and ties off their backs - literally - to try to improve their image with the public and help poor people who need presentable clothing for job interviews....

We can be certain that these folks are 90% GOP since Tom DeLay has that rule that lobbyists may not lobby unless they have good GOP credentials!

1. But where are the damn jobs?!?!?!

Urrrr.... pure Republican style.... look good with no substance.... all dressed up and no job interviews to go to because there are no jobs.

2. What is the problem with this?

While I don't agree with their use of this as a PR ploy, how can it be argued that the act itself, individually-considered, is at all a BAD thing?

I simply think it would be much better if they just did this and didn't put out press about it. My complaint is with the self-serving attitude, not the act of charity itself.

3. Somebody's hired a PR rep.

1 new job down.
3 million more to go.

[whistle]

4. I think that's a great idea....

...because when John Kerry is elected there will be a need for 10 million suits to give to the applicants of the 10 million new jobs that are created. The first people in line for the unemployed people's hand-me-down clothes will be George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condi Rice and Colin Powell. Behind those will be every GOP representative that we democrats can vote out of office. :dem: :kick:
