"Play Lettuce" for $50 per hour (deliver apps to John McCain)

[displacedtexan]

This craigslist posting is making the rounds in DC today:

ok, we won't pick it, but will Americans play lettuce?

We need to hire two heads of lettuce.

Earlier this month, Senator John McCain told an AFL-CIO crowd in Washington, DC that illegal immigrants were necessary to the economy because they do jobs Americans won't.

Hedda Romaine

When some in the crowd shouted, "Pay us a decent wage," McCain responded that Americans couldn't do that kind of work for a whole season and offered anyone $50 per hour to come to Arizona and pick lettuce. "You can't do it, my friends," he said.

So, we posted a McCain lettuce-picking job application online and over 3300 Americans so far have filled it out.

Now we need to hand-deliver the applications to Senator McCain's office in Washington, DC, because we know that any senator who spends just a short while reading these applicationswill know, unless he is utterly without a heart, where his or her duty lies.

We think Bib and Hedda would make excellent choices to deliver the applications. Green is so TV-friendly, you know.

If picking lettuce is a job Americans won't do, perhaps playing lettuce is still within our skill set. We'll pay $50/hour to play lettuce, the exact date to be announced.

1. If I were the guy who McCain offered (then retracted) the job to, I would

have shouted back "WELL, YOU LIED FIRST!!!"
