UAW President on junior Senator Vitter: "He'd rather pay a prostitute than pay auto worker"
Vitter faulted for derailing auto bailout
by Jonathan Tilove, The Times-Picayune
Friday December 12, 2008, 10:09 PM

WASHINGTON -- Morgan Johnson, president of the United Auto Workers local representing General Motors workers in Shreveport, said Friday that Sen. David Vitter's role in blocking an auto bailout indicates "he's chosen to play Russian roulette" with Louisiana jobs and the national economy.

"I don't know what Sen. Vitter has against GM or the United Auto Workers or the entire domestic auto industry; whatever it is, whatever he thinks we've done, it's time for him to forgive us, just like Sen. Vitter has asked the citizens of Louisiana to forgive him, " said Johnson, president of Local 2166. Otherwise, Johnson said of Vitter, it would appear, "He'd rather pay a prostitute than pay auto workers."

9. K&R -- to highlight Republican ethics-- sex workers aren't unionized
I hope everyone remembers that Republicans are the anti-worker party. No strings on hundreds of billions to high finance; rejection of tens of billions to save manufacturing jobs.

14. That's how it's done, right there.
Democratic politicians should be saying this, and something just like it anytime the guy opens his mouth.

17. K&R! Vitter gets a deserving smackdown.
An absolute phony, faith-blasted, family de-valuing GOP sadsack.

Way to tell it like it is Mr. Johnson.
