Due to a mediocre economy and a very poorly run campaign by Democratic Governor Chet Culver, Iowans elected a worn out re-tread to the office of Governor last year.
Now that he's be in office nary a month, the proverbial pig poo is hitting the fan due to revelations that he is "double-dipping".
Amongst the many fairy tale promises (25,000 new jobs, a 25% increase in income) that Governor Brain-dead foisted on Iowans during his campaign of fear, was the promise of "shared sacrifice".
We've recently been educated by Governor Gimme about what he considers shared sacrifice. Keep in mind that he's been following the standard "blame the single mom who works at the DMV for everything" strategy that was such a winner for Boner and Can't-er this fall. In Iowa that means he's been attacking a small cost of living increase for state works, and frothing about retired state workers who may have more than 1 pension.
Well guess what?! The shorty pudgy white guy with the bad porno 'stache is doing it too!!!!!
Seems as if ol' Terry earned a pension from being a state legislator, Lt Gov, and for 12 yrs of Gov. And now that he's back in office, he gets to keep that ($50,000/yr) AS WELL as his $130,000 a year salary. Some sacrifice, huh?
And his justification is that he left the cushy presidency of Des Moines University (Osteopathic Medical School) that paid him $357,000 per year. Get me the WAAAAAHHHbulance, STAT!!!!!
All I can say is IOKIYAR!
