Bitter Much?

Rep. Kent Grusendorf responded to the calls from Chris Bell and Carole Keeton Strayhorn to give teachers a pay raise with,

Grusendorf, who lost his re-election bid last month to Diane Patrick, a GOP challenger backed by teacher groups, said of the proposers: "They're in a bidding war for the teacher vote." He said: "Aw, let's give them $10,000. It's not my money anyway, what do I care?"
We know you don't care Grusendorf, because you've been voted out of office. Funny, those that still have a shot are trying to put together ideas to bring teacher pay near the national average and throwing out ideas and you're all, "Eh, I don't care."

Not that that is a change from when you actually were influencing policy, it's just nice to hear you say out loud about how you don't give a shit.

Actually, PD, I think he made an extremely valid observation. Carole's trying to flay teacher votes away from Bell like a Inuit skinning a baby seal. Bell, obviously, would prefer this didn't happen.

Mmmm. Baby seal.

I take the comment as a mocking of the educrats' attitude, and if so, Grusendorf, whatever his faults may be, is right on the money with this one.

Please give them a $10,000 raise. I would love it. Why didn't he say that before the election?

I can't wait to get to Austin to sign his visitors' log book as Diane Patrick with the sign off of Adios MoFo.

Yeah! Damn those teachers that are teaching our children to learn. Bunch of crybabies. If they wanted to make money, they should have gone into business, and not spent time "preparing our future workforce." What were they thinking?

WTF is an "educrat?"

Sounds like a word someone just made up.
