Yes, isn’t it so convenient how the MSM just sweeps that away like it was just another dust ball yet it was a major selling point in the 2008 campaign as to how she was a powerful woman in a large organization with a significant 6-figure salary?

Being fired in no way disqualifies her for government work. In business on is expected to create value. In government one just steals and redistributes it.

What an incompetent lout. She is fired from her family’s business so she then goes snowboarding for a long time. Now, later in life and being incompetent, she seeks the only job where incompetence seems to be the qualifier: a DIMocRAT politician. She is however, a typical DIMocRAT: a liar.

I understand that perfectly, one does not die, they just stop living. And the jokes just write themselves.

didn’t she also give taxpayer dollars to the family business? You would think that would be the big scandal.

Family eliminated the position. Polite firing, yes.

In other words, “I wasn’t incompetent, I was merely useless.”

She got ejected because her lunatic progressive idiocy scared the living crap out of even her rich progressive crazy train family. Just shows you how far down the slide we have traveled.

LMAO is right. A family business that puts a member out is due to either incompetence or conflict. If it “eliminated a position” it would surely find something else for her to do.

This just simply doesn’t happen.

mary doesn’t realize if they wanted her to remain in the company, they’d have made a new positin or put her in a different existing position.

you know if she was as good as she claims to be.

wonder how many of people buy the worst lying explanation ever.

Her excuse for moving the Trek HQ from Germany to Amsterdam because she “didn’t like the Germans, and Amsterdam fit her ‘lifestyle’ better” is a curious one to make public.

I have deep suspicions about anybody who uses ‘lifestyle’ as an excuse for her decisions — especially when it affects a lot of other people.

“Sounds like Bill Clinton explanations.”

I could hardly believe it, but they just ran a commercial with BJ endorsing Mary Burke!

The DNC & Unionistas are REALLY pulling out all the stops!

I’ll look for it on YouTube - doesn’t seem to be posted, yet.

The next ad was one for Walker, just SLAMMING Burke on job creation (lost 130,000 jobs on her ‘watch’ as Commerce Secretary in WI) and touching on the Trek firing.

Anyhow, I’ll post the ads if I can find them.
