Sorry if this is a dupe.

If nothing else, this will brighten your day. It is Rep. Dingell's response to the administration's apparent suggestion that fast food jobs be reclassified as manufacturing jobs.

1. ROFLMAO

Dingell hit it on the head.

I'm saving that one!!!!!

2. We've got some great democrats in Michigan!

Dingell, Conyers, the Levin brothers are all willing to stand up for the people.

3. LOL n/t

[lovedems]

4. I want Mayor McCheese!

That was the best smackdown I have seen in awhile!

7. I am so glad I'm from Michigan

We have Conyers, Dingell, Granholm, Levin bros, Stabenow, we did have Bonior as well.

[lovedems]

14. Yep! Your states voters are very smart indeed!

You have elected some fine individuals.

Consider yourself lucky indeed. :)

5. LMAO!!!!

That was hilarious! I'm saving it, too!

[Rainbowreflect]

6. I thank both of you for the laugh.

That was wonderful.

8. I just passed this link on to family and friends

You folks should do the same. These Bush clowns have to be exposed for their lunacy.

9. I loved this part

"I am sure the 163,000 factory workers who have lost their jobs in Michigan will find it heartening to know that a world of opportunity awaits them in the high growth manufacturing careers like spatula operator, napkin restocking, and lunch tray removal."

10. If you think about it

Not just McDonald's, BK, Wendy's, etc - but, what about every restaurant out there? Every cook is now a manufacturer...

13. This beats the time when ketchup was labelled a vegetable !!

Remember THAT one?

:evilgrin:

[Ilsa]

11. Thanks, that was the best laugh I've had in awhile.

Kudos to Dingle, et al.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Hooray for Michigan for electing progressives!

[Skittles]

15. Michigan should be very proud

this is outstanding: responding with ridicule to a ridiculous idea.

[NewJeffCT]

16. My 2 cents to add - Cashiers are now I/T!

Not only can we call burger-assemblers "manufacturers" now, but how about reclassifying the folks that run those computerized cash registers as having "information technology" jobs?

[Renew Deal]

17. I will go from battling viruses to battling nickles and dimes.

That's good news.

18. kick for the afternoon crowd

This was a good one...
