Snooki’s attracted the ire of AFL-CIO firebrand Richard Trumka, who had the temerity to address the Alaska AFL-CIO in Anchorage today in this vein:
What is this crazy magnet that’s pulling people to the right? I mean, look at your former governor….
Who is she, anyway?
Sarah Palin?
She used to have a job, your governor…. You knew her…. Or thought you did…. I know I thought I did. She seemed like a decent person, an outdoorswoman. Her husband’s a steelworker. She seemed to take some OK stands for working families.
And then things got weird. After she tied herself to John McCain and they lost, she blew off Alaska. I guess she figured she’d trade up…shoot for a national stage. Alaska was too far from the FOX TV spotlight.
I bet most of you, on a clear day, can see her hypocrisy from your house.
I think Sarah Palin quit so she wouldn’t have to be accountable… so she wouldn’t have a record that could be scrutinized…
...
And down in Tyler, Texas, she’s talking about—and I quote—“union thugs.”
What? Her husband’s a union man. Is she calling him a thug? Sarah Palin ought to know what union men and women are.
Oh, she goes to great pains to talk differently about unions and the working people who belong to them, knowing full well we’re one and the same.
But using the term “union thug.” That’s poisonous. There’s history behind that rhetoric.
That’s how bosses and politicians in decades past justified the terrorizing of workers, the murdering of organizers….
Snooki’s evidently afeared of a straight wordfight with him, so she’s hunkered down under the bed in the ole homestead of Twitter View with the blinds drawn and a message scrawled on the door reading, “They went thataway”:
Know our hardworking union friends (esp from my days as an IBEW sister, Todd IBEW & USW brother) aren’t sheep, they’ll ask: Trumka’s motive?

Oh, I don’t know. I think they’re already pretty well clear about Trumka’s motive in this election year.
Think Trumka’s frustrations r w/Obama, not me (high unemplymnt, deals w/Obama&his; subsequent broken promises)so understandable Rich’s ticked

Well, since Trumka’s not been chary of taking on Obama in the past, and unless the president’s now going under the name Sarah Palin using one of his many birth certificates and Social Security numbers, I think it’s pretty clear who Trumka’s currently ticked off with, Snooki.
