Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao says American workers are unkempt, impudent, and slothful

Matt Gunterman July 5th, 2007

Hey, Elaine, all’s I’m saying is if you think your job’s impossible, or the people whose interests you’re supposed to be looking out for just aren’t worth the trouble, you can always go elsewhere.

I mean, haven’t you spent pretty much your entire adult life on the public teat, just suckin’ away all the rich taxpayer goodness? Why not try the private sector, where the free market will judge you on your mental agility and actual managerial skills.

Yeah, Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, you’re all for competition until it’s your ass that has to compete.

Here’s what Chao told PARADE Magazine:

[...]

“American employees must be punctual, dress appropriately and have good personal hygiene,” says Chao. “They need anger-management and conflict-resolution skills, and they have to be able to accept direction. Too many young people bristle when a supervisor asks them to do something.”

[...]

You call this kempt, Elaine?Do you call this kempt?

    He should have worn his Easter egg suit to the Derby.

    I hope Elaine passes this information on to her husband Senator Mitch McConnell, because his boss, the people, can’t get him to accept direction, and his personal hygiene is deplorable, just look at his teeth, opps I mean tooth.

    They’ve both had a little too much BOTOX® if you ask me.

    Are Kentuckians ever going to replace this joker?
