Family Values

MANIFESTO

The hawkish Rep. Jack “Scoop” Kingston (R-GA) made a choice comment about Steny Hoyer’s decision to have a 5-day work week in the House. "Scoop" complained: "Keeping us up here eats away at families, marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families -- that's what this says." According to the WaPo article, Scoop flies home on Thursdays, and returns to DC on Tuesday, serving his country for blistering 3 days each week. Hard to believe a man who loves to toss around the phrase “cut-n-run” when if comes to bringing the troops home could be so callus when it comes to working 5 days a week.
