Hillary Clinton - Old Labour

Wait up, Hillary's doing a nice line in Old Labour rhetoric. It can only mean one thing: the Ohio Democratic Primary is coming up:

"People sometimes ask me, when you are president will labor have a seat at the table? Here's my answer - labor built that table. You better believe labor will have a seat at the table." [From last night's speech.]

Oi, you heckling at the back there: please don't bring up the small matter of Hillary and Wal-Mart. It's impolite.

Mixing Pop and Politics (3)

Obscure Factoid of the Day

Beck's maternal Great Great Grandfather, Abraham Rosenberg, was the first president of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union.

Double hat tip to Kara for supplying the Beck pic and for the obscure factoid.
