Topic: Senate GOP Embarrasses Dems Over Boeing

[John Florida]

H/T Bonz:

At a hearing held this past week by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions, it was amusing to watch the Democratic majority be thoroughly outmatched by the minority Republicans on the committee. The minority managed to divert the subject of the hearing to the National Labor Relations Board and its ridiculous job-killing complaint against Boeing.

Tom Harkin (D-IA), called the hearing to discuss “The Endangered Middle Class: Is the American Dream Slipping

Slippin' Into Darkness
Out of Reach for American Families?”

The minority managed to divert the subject of the hearing to the National Labor Relations Board and its ridiculous job-killing complaint against Boeing.

Senator Mike Enzi outfoxed Harkin. He called — as his sole witness — Michael Luttig, general counsel for the Boeing Company and former justice of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Luttig was there to talk about the outrageous complaint filed by the National Labor Relations Board against Boeing for opening up a second assembly line for the 787 Dreamliner

Harkin? Harkin, he was a fighter pilot in Nam, a hero he flew junkers from Japan to the Philippines for rehab didn't he?  Then he
lied about it in order to bolster his election campaign.  Ain't that a
hangin' offense?
