Representative Jack Kingston (R, GA) and others of his ilk can blow me

Over at the House, Representative Steny H. Hover has been working on next year’s schedule, and he says there’s going to be longer hours. For example, lately, “the legislative week started late Tuesday and ended by Thursday afternoon - and that was during the relatively few weeks the House wasn’t in recess.” Now, representatives are being told to plan on being around from 6:30 p.m. on Monday until about 2 p.m. on Friday.

That’s almost a five day work week! Can you even imagine?

In addition, there will be a cutback of the extended holidays, like the six weekdays Representatives used to get off around Memorial Day (as opposed to the one weekday peons like you and I get off).

Meanwhile, folks from Alaska, Hawaii and other far states are understandably tweaked by the fact that they’re going to be away from home more. But you know what, that’s your job. And as for Jack Kingston, he lives in friggin’ Georgia, so he’s really got no business complaining. Particularly when he tries to spin it thusly:

Keeping us up here eats away at families…Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care les about families - that what’s this says.

That’s right, Jack. The Dem’s hate families.

Seriously, buddy, fuck you.
