Here's the part I find hillarious... That any of these dudes are so TOTALY out of touch that they don't know how bad it will sound to whine about a five day work week.

There are some actual mitigating factors for Representatives. Travel time back to their district, work they have to or want to do there, etc. But how can someone who has the neccesary political chops to actually win an election not realize how they sound when they publicly cry about their work hours and say it's anti family when they ought to know how many hours, how many two career families, how many people have to hold down two jobs just to get by? Wanna bet the same people gripping that their new five day work wek is anti family have voted against a minimum wage hike?

I guess what I'm saying is, I'm not at all shocked that these folks are such self centered pigs. I guess I'm shocked they don't know how to hide it any better.
