With Puzder Out It S Oprah To The Rescue

On behalf of working stiffs everywhere, I’d like to thank Oprah Winfrey for saving us from having Andrew Puzder as our secretary of labor for the next four years.

      It was bad enough that Trump had nominated a labor secretary who had vehemently opposed raising the minimum wage, once joked about hiring “no more people behind the counter unless they have all their teeth,” and ran commercials for Carl’s Jr. that featured scantily clad women chomping down on big juicy hamburgers like they were—well, you can figure that out.

      As I was saying, these blemishes made it hard enough for Republican senators to vote for Puzder as they did—like lemmings following their leader off a cliff—with Betsy DeVos, Jeff Sessions, and other sterling Trump nominees. 

Here’s hoping that Oprah can find a few other tapes in her archive.

      Just kidding about that last tape. No one’s accused Sessions of belonging to the KKK. It’s just that he once said that he thought the Klan was “OK, until I found out they smoked pot.”
