Not. Kidding.
But really, Weingarten has already shown herself to be, er, not the “sharpest knife in the drawer:”
Last year, she faced ridicule after falling for a Facebook hoax advertising “Ham for Hanukkah.”
(Her FB rant has since been deleted.)
Via Daily Caller: Teachers Union Fat Cat Lives In America’s Top 1 Percent, Blames Baltimore Riots On INEQUALITY
American Federation of Teachers president and notable rich person Randi Weingarten has released a statement blaming “inequality, bias and racism.”
….We understand the frustration that mounts with each incident where an unarmed black or Latino man loses his future, and with the hopelessness that stems from poverty and joblessness. We condemn the inequality, bias and racism that spawn these cycles of violence,”….
Weingarten, who complains loudly and routinely about the salaries of American teachers, makes at least $360,000 per year.
She brings home $30,000 each month — or about $7,500 per week, or $1,500 per workday.
By way of comparison, a typical American elementary school teacher earns $56,130 annually. Thus, Weingarten enjoys a yearly income that is 641 percent more than the income of an average grade school teacher.
Uh oh…There’s that darn inequality again!
Wash.FreeBeacon article of Oct. 2014. http://freebeacon.com/issues/randi-weingarten-limousine-liberal/
“The American Federation of Teachers pays big money to travel in luxury vehicles, according to its federal financial disclosures….An increasing share of union dues are dedicated to financing overhead and union management…Weingarten has increased dues payments by 21 percent since taking office, even as teacher salaries have fallen…”
The spending looks similar to Congress following its rules for us.
Perhaps she’d be interested in selling custom chef’s aprons to teachers that read, “STFU and eat your cake!”
Every time one of these blithering hypocritical liberals whine about something they give only lip service to, one of the GOP candidates should be quick to point out the hypocrisy.
Perhaps she’d care to give her yearly salary to someone more deserving? I thought not.
For the record (and as noted in the linked article), the “ham for Hanukkah” incident was real; it just didn’t happen at Walmart. See “Ham for Hanukkah?”

Maynard, the Balducci story is from 2007. Every year since then, the story and the picture re-appear, with different locations.

Money seems to have a tendency to migrate from the inner cities on into the lib hierarchy.
