Another word for 'Undisciplined'
Which is what Harkin apparently is calling Gingrich- who looks it merely due to his weight issue which isn't a wide angle lense problem. He looks like a heart attack waiting to happen with the protruded belly- I would get serious nutritional attention, the kind that Clinton got after his heart attack and radically alter the diet. Go macrobiotic.
But I digress.
The problem with the big idea man is that some of them are looney tooney. The problem with the economy is not that 12 year olds from the ghetto aren't cleaning other people's toilets. Child labor laws are generally a good thing, and especially when protecting children from hazardous jobs, like cleaning other people's toilets in an age of AIDS. Get serious. Sometimes you want to applaud him for boldness and other times you want to shout 'Are You Kidding!'
No, kids age 12-13 should be focused on reading and homework, or working on science projects for the school science fair or advancing their sports skills, not looking to clean toilets.
High School kids apparently do get jobs of all kinds- and always have. I did. Generally thought to be a good thing to intern or get paid developing some talent or skill by that age as supplement to education. Work study programs exist in most colleges. Something you might imagine a history professor should know about.
So Gingrich's fly by the seat of your overalls works sometimes and sometimes just makes him look moronic- like this time when one wonders how involved he was in his own children's rearing if he could send a 12 year old into someone else's toilets. Where are his kids by the way? Are they
gagging that this is the guy who dumped their mother for Papal Barbie or do they like their Dad?
