Candidates Worst Jobs
December 6th, 2007
I personally detest all of these human interest/fluff/get to know your candidates articles BUT people seem to love them. So here they are, the candidates worst jobs.
DEMOCRATS:
New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton: “Sliming fish in a fish cannery in Valdez, Alaska.”Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards: Textile mill. “I cleaned out overhead in the weave room, which is where all the crap goes. And I’d be up there climbing around, knocking the stuff down. And it would go down on the looms. The weavers would be, uh, not happy with me for that.”
Illinois Sen. Barack Obama: Scooping ice cream at a Baskin-Robbins and eating too much of it.
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson: Landscaping, while playing baseball on Cape Cod in 1967. “The pay was terrible. I remember it was backbreaking work.”
REPUBLICANS:
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee: “Washing windows at JCPenney’s and stocking shelves when I was 14 years old. … It was a great job and it was a great company but they worked me hard. Just as I’d get all the fingerprints wiped off the door, somebody would come and they’d put their hands all over the glass. To this day, I’m still very sensitive about never touching the glass, but touching the handles because I had to wipe those windows so many times.”
Arizona Sen. John McCain: “I’ve never really had a bad job.”
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney: “Worst job was probably spending about a week sawing a sewer pipe at the ranch in Idaho I worked at. And getting down in the sewer and sawing through a sewer pipe that still had active sewage occasionally passing through it.”Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson: “I’ve worked in a factory, I was a bouncer at my uncle’s drag strip, I worked at the post office, I sold children’s shoes, I sold ladies’, I sold men’s clothing, I was a night clerk at a motel. I can’t think of a job that I had that I wasn’t thankful for at the time.”
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani: Declined to answer.
