Linda McMahon: I Don’t Know The Minimum Wage, But Lower It
8:36 pm EST September 30th, 2010


The light keeps glaring on the faces of the GOP’s fall election hopefuls and its not pretty.

‘The minimum wage now in our country, I think we’ve set that, so there are a lot of people have benefited from it in our country, but I think we ought to review how much it ought to be, and whether or not we ought to have increases in the minimum wage,’ McMahon said at a press conference.

After the event, ‘McMahon admitted she didn’t know what the current minimum wage is or if any of her employees at World Wrestling Entertainment are paid it,’ CTNewsJunkie.com reported. McMahon was CEO of the WWE before launching her Senate campaign.


In completely unrelated news, this is apparently Linda McMahon’s house:

1. Maybe she can give them steriods so they work harder
since they're all dispensable in her book.
That racketeer should be in prison.

2. Her campaign responded by saying
She was misinterpreted, that Minimum Wage should be reviewed in case it needs to be raised. That intention from a GOPer? Riiiiight....

Another greedy, whiny rethuglican.

4. the McMahon's are absolutely horrible people
they built their empire on the blood and bodies of people like owen hart, davey boy smith, kerry von erich, dozens of others who have suffered as professional wrestlers.

they're some of the lowest of the low people humanly possible. they view human life as commodities to enrich themselves, no matter what it may cost their talent personally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

if you wanna see people who are the definition of republican lack of value for human life, the mcmahon's are it.

5. I believe the word is bottom feeders
Republicans don't believe in a minimum wage. If it was up to many of them people would be paid in script.

8. The recommended size for a home is 1,000 square feet per person.
A lot of people get by with less. These days some have 0.
