Politico today quotes Rep. Paul Kanjorski, D-Pa., in a committee hearing on financial reform:
“We’re giving relief to people that I deal with in my office every day now unfortunately. But because of the longevity of this recession, these are people – and they’re not minorities and they’re not defective and they’re not all the things you’d like to insinuate that these programs are about – these are average, good American people.”
Kanjorski is just lucky he isn’t a Republican.
He is in a vulnerable seat, and currently in his third matchup with Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta, R.
