Monkey Wrench
We remember it like it was April 6, 2002.
Willard Mitt stood in the writhing nest of Massachusetts Republicans that was the 2002 state convention and bellowed that "it's time to get out the wrench of reform. Look at the mess.
"State workers can get nearly six weeks a year in paid leave, and 13 paid holidays, including Bunker Hill Day and Evacauation Day."
Tough talk, eh?
So now that you are Fraud Governor, Fraud Governor, what are you doing with that there wrench of reform?
Other than beating it over the head of the taxpayer?
Because according to a press statement authored by the flack formerly known as the stout, Reese Witherspoon-wannabe dye-job aide to Romney’s loathsome $150,000-a-year spokesman, "(Fraud) Governor (Willard) Mitt Romney declared June 11, 2004 a state holiday in honor of former President Ronald Reagan...." (source: Romney declares June 11th day of honor for President Reagan, 6/8/2004)
What? So now state workers can get nearly six weeks a year in paid leave, and 14 paid holidays, including Bunker Hill Day and Evacuation Day, and Ronald Reagan Day?!
Setting aside the notion that it is slightly ironic to "honor" Ronald Reagan (who famously baited public-sector employees) by giving state bureaucrats another paid day off, Romney has decided to "honor" Ronald Reagan (who famously baited public-sector employees) by giving state bureaucrats another paid day off.
Note to George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton: we hate to be greedy, but Massachusetts is still a wee bit shy of an August holiday. If you're planning on packing it in, could you wait a month or two? And put some planning into it, too. We'd love a four-day weekend to "honor" you both.
