Bob Dole, 1996: “Where’s the outrage?”

Union thugs are protected. Even though they are benefitting from stimulus money and bailout money, don’t expect an ounce of criticism.

Mark Levin, after seeing the Fox News story, tried a joke of sorts on his radio show tonight.

Then his call screener asked specifically if Sweeney (the AFL-CIO honcho) was there and someone said yes, though his exact location wasn’t known.
