Political Quote of the Day

From George Will, when discussing the Wisconsin protests with Dem activist Donna Brazille (h/t Don Surber):

“Donna, what you call the grassroots is a tiny minority of this tiny minority of Wisconsin people who work for the government. Three hundred thousand public employees in Wisconsin went to work — while the teachers were clutching their little signs that say it’s all about the kids, they’re abandoning their classrooms, lying to their supervisors, saying they were sick, and going off to protest in defense of perquisites, which if the governor cuts them as much as he plans to do, would still leave them better off than their private sector” counterparts.

As the saying goes, Madison is 30 square miles surrounded by reality.  And as Don Surber points out in his post, Will was 100% right.
