THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD
(apologies to Keith Olbermann)
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (R)
CORBETT: The other area is, there are many employers that say we’re looking for people but we can’t find anybody that has passed a drug test, a lot of them. And that’s a concern for me because we’re having a serious problem with that.
Every now and again, I run across something (or someone) so mind-numbingly, undeniably stupid that it…well, it takes my breath away. This is where Gov. Corbett enters Stage Right, whereupon he immediately inserts his Cole-Haans in his mouth and attempts to extract nutritional value from them. Either Corbett is willfully ignorant and/or misinformed…or he just doesn’t care whom he may offend in relaying his poorly thought out and ill-informed version of the truth. Or perhaps he really is JUST. THAT. STUPID.
Yes, it seems that many of the Keystone State’s unemployed are doing their Willie Nelson impressions these days, because according to Corbett, a lot of them are failing drug tests. (No reports were available on whether or not Pennsylvania groceries are experiencing higher than normal demand for Doritos, Fritos, and Cheetos.) This assessment may well account for why Corbett, who’s running for re-election, is down by nine points in the most recent polls available.
Corbett’s assertion is, of course, pure and unadulterated crap. This is what happens when you become too full of yourself and you begin extracting “facts” from your posterior…which is OK, I suppose; with any luck Corbett will be told by the people of Pennsylvania that it’s time to look for another line of work…if he can pass a drug test.
Hey man…pass the Doritos, willya??
