Whatever happened to Real Men with Real Jobs?

From Eric Dondero:

Author and social commentatorAnn Coulter on Fox News Morning (via Daily Caller):

“What I really think needs to be talked about is that no one is mentioning this is Jimmy Hoffa, the president of the Teamsters. They used to be truck drivers and pipefitters. Now he’s representing public school teachers? Kindergarten teachers? Cafeteria workers? Fighting for every last bit of their government pension? What a pathetic downfall!” (RELATED: Coulter: Palin has become ‘the Obama of the tea party’)

Coulter went on: “And how about a little of this tough talk back when the Teamsters supported drilling [for oil] in ANWR? You know: ‘Real jobs for real men’ — as opposed to kindergarten teachers. And how about fighting for nuclear power plants being installed? … He’s not even representing men who have actual jobs. He’s representing a bunch of useless public sector workers.”

Coulter went on to strongly back private schooling versus government schools.

They are government workers. Let’s turn it over to private [schools], to vouchers, to charter schools. No, they fight for every last dime. They get summers off. They’re off at two [o'clock] and they make more money than most of those pipefitters who no longer have jobs.”

Note - In the mid-1990s Coulter flirted with a congressional run in Connecticut on the Libertarian Party ticket, even going so far as to meet with the LPCT Exec. Comm. to discuss the idea.
