Gotta love these quotes from today’s news…
My state’s senior U.S. Senator, Arlen Specter, said the following:
"And if Rumsfeld had been out, you bet it would have made a difference. I'd still be chairman of the Judiciary Committee."
Awww… should we throw Arlie a pity party? Too bad, so sad, Senator Specter… Here’s a tissue.
Then there is this quote from David Tovar, spokesman for Wal-Mart:
"We are deeply sorry that this happened, and we are in the process of pulling all of these T-shirts from our stores. Respect for the individual is a core value of our company and we would never have placed this T-shirt on our shelves had we known the origin and significance of this emblem."
Really? Respect for the individual is one of Wal-Mart's core values? Hmmm... He must be talking about a different Wal-Mart. The Wal-Mart that I know about keeps minorities from attaining positions of leadership within the company, does not offer an affordable health-care benefit to its employees, destroys the economies of rural communities, and has been known to purchase products manufactured in 3rd world sweat shops. Exactly WHO is the individual that they respect? Their CEO?
