A WAR ON STAFFERS?

Newt "Too Many Bad Ideas" Gingrich took a swipe at Congressional staffers a few weeks ago:
"Of course it's the nature of the modern Congress, which hires lots of nice young staffers who have never had a real job, who spent their entire life being arrogant to visitors from back home, who end up thinking they know a lot because they stay up until 3 o'clock working on a word processor, and who write legislation as though they have some contact with reality," he said, eliciting laughter.

That blew over quickly but now Rep. John Boehner gets down and dirty in his attempt to save the Wall Street banksters:
White House economic adviser Larry Summers and other Democrats criticized remarks made by House Republican Leader John Boehner, who told hundreds of bankers at a conference to be tough when lobbying against reform on Capitol Hill.

"Don't let those little punk staffers take advantage of you and stand up for yourselves," Boehner said on Wednesday.
