Speaking in Virginia Beach, Ed Gillespie says, "A minimum wage job is where you learn to get to work on time....Its where you learn the social aspect of work, where you play on a softball league and go for a beer after work." Absolutely. Clueless. In fact, most people earning a minimum wage don't have enough time or money to be playing in softball leagues and going out for beers after work. Instead, they're too busy trying to keep a roof over their heads, food on the table, and health care coverage (again, no thanks to cold-hearted and clueless Republicans like Ed Gillespie). In short, Ed Gillespie's as out of touch as Mitt "47 percent' Romney, his former boss.

1. What ED knows is from watching tv sitcoms....

where everyone knows your name. Someone should ask him what the price $$ in a bar is for a pint or bottle of beer.

3. Has Ed checked out the price of beer lately?

Ah the easy life of the low wage worker. Is this guy nuts. Softball leagues, really.

4. No, Ed, you fucktard.

Minimum wage is where you flip burgers or stock shelves for starvation wages, work shit hours, and get yelled at by people dumber than you. THAT is minimum fucking wage.
