"Staffers for Linda McMahon's (R) failed U.S. Senate campaign in Connecticut tell WTNH-TV they were not paid after Election Day. One who complained publicly said he was later handed a check but also got a little something extra in his envelope. Said the campaign worker: 'Basically he handed me a check with a condom in it, told me I was screwed. That's the rudest gesture you can ever do to a person, it's like spitting in a person's face.' His check also bounced."

Wow. Just wow.

[HopeHoops]

1. Was the condom used? That would be REALLY rude.

[cartach]

6. Scumbags

It probably was used. That's why Republicans are scumbags in every sense of the word.

[HopeHoops]

7. Yeah, but I bet they didn't use it - birth control, yah know.

[The Wizard]

13. Scumbag was

the original meaning/idiom for condom.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

23. +1 nt

[uppityperson]

11. Check it for pinholes. eom

[HopeHoops]

12. If it's used, why bother?

[arely staircase]

14. not used but tiny hole poked through it

nt

[roguevalley]

39. what can you expect from the stupidest woman in a

stupid sport?

[HopeHoops]

40. Sport?

[roguevalley]

49. im being kind ;D

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Can't you get someone prosecuted for the bad check?

I'd sure as hell do that.

[relayerbob]

5. You can if it can be proven they know there was no money in the account

[LiberalFighter]

30. That should be easy to prove.

[tjwash]

3. the mcmahons made their money from a clown show...what did the staffers expect?

...nt

[lonestarnot]

4. They could try organizing a clowns' union.

[hughee99]

8. You can't make this shit up? Sure you can.

I think someone already did. The not getting paid part, I believe, the condom part I don't believe for a second.

[Please proceed]

15. Didn't the employee say it was basically like getting a condom...

Not a big fan of Linda and she has a history of not paying debts but I tend to agree with you.

[hughee99]

21. I'm not clear if there was an actual condom in the envelope,

but it sounded to me like there was.

[calimary]

50. Welcome to DU, Please proceed!

Glad you're here! LOVE your screen name!

This is indeed somewhat unclear. Hard to tell if it was metaphoric or actual. Neither would surprise me. Just proves how urgently we need to prevent people like this from gaining a foothold in ANY power position. She's failed at both the gubernatorial AND the Senate level. Wonder what's next? At least megabucks meg whitman seems to have gone away after flushing away more than a hundred million of her own dollars on a waste of time. She hasn't been back to try another way in the way this Connecticut clown-ette has.

[TorchTheWitch]

56. he claimed he was actually given a condom in the envelope

and the rudeness of it was comparable to being spit in the face.

This is according to other articles previously posted on the story.

Welcome to DU.

[robinlynne]

35. me too. Noone would do that. asking for a bunch of lawsuits.

[magical thyme]

9. get in bed with shit

Get up with maggots. Who could've known?

[SCVDem]

18. Thats what I was thinking! nt

[ejbr]

33. + 1 n/t

[ck4829]

10. Republican job creators for you.

[rocktivity]

16. Let's get ready to

HUMMMMMBLE!

[ROBROX]

17. GROUP SUE THE BIG GIANT TURD

It is time to publicly make sure this family makes the news. The waste millions in politics and they FAIL to privately to pay their workers. I would hate to work for those clowns who are evil and STUPID like all rich people. You can put money into their bank account but you can't take MORON out of their genetics.

[TeamPooka]

19. my headline "McMahon Campaign Distributes Free Condoms" nt

[frylock]

20. having a hard time mustering any sympathy for these folks..

their candidate had every intention of treating us the same.

[progressoid]

22. No Shit. eom

[snagglepuss]

28. BINGO. I have zero sympathy for that reason.

[BVictor1]

24. I wonder if she'll vote republican next time?

You mean a woman who's worth $100's of millions of dollars and financed 2 failed campaigns with $100,000,000 of her own money couldn't pay those who tried to get her elected?

Isn't if funny how the richest and greediest people are always the damn cheapskates?

[libdem4life]

25. Sheer Medieval Feudalism. The peasants did not win the joust for their Lord/Lady.

[bluestate10]

26. Was any more reported on Romney's cutting off the credit cards of some of his staffers

after losing on election night? Were those staffers eventually paid for their service. As far as McMahon is concerned, her actions end any chance she has in politics. Her future opponent has a great talking point on her character.

[Historic NY]

27. Thats what happens when you work for a 2X loser.

[southernyankeebelle]

29. Just shows you "white rich trash" comes in all kinds of catogories.

[Zoeisright]

31. That's what you get for supporting a repuke.

Hopefully these campaign workers will realize how dumb they were. But I doubt they have that kind of mental reasoning capacity.

[leftyohiolib]

32. we need nelson muntz

[Smilo]

34. Typical BS from McMahon - but surely they knew what she was

like anyway?

Lie with the GOPT you get fleas.

[valerief]

36. Yes, the 1% really care. They really, really care. nt

[BlueJazz]

37. That's a dangerous game these people play. I (and probably a few other DU'ers) know one or two...

...people that would take matters into their own hands.

Not MY friends but people I've known.

[felix_numinous]

38. Republicans screwing over their own

is one way to move the country to the left. People don't forget this kind of shit.

[colsohlibgal]

41. Ayn Rand Would Approve

Just another narcissistic witch void of the thing most of us have, empathy.

[freshwest]

42. Yet they worked to elect that bagger, who they knew stiffed her employees before, right?

While I detest what this creature did, it's in keeping with the way she ran her corporation. There was no respect shown to those workers, and knowing the way Teahadists disrespect the 47% and working people...

Yet they still signed up.

[Delmette]

43. Withholding....

Be sure to check with your state's Dept of Revenue and the IRS. She probably did not forward any taxes withheld from any of your paychecks.

[sarcasmo]

44. Stay classy Linda.

[Panasonic]

45. Status quo for the McMahons

If you watch WWE, you know that is to be *expected* - screwed from a paycheck or two.

Time to file a lawsuit against the McMahons and get paid what they earned.

[Berlum]

46. Republican cesspool 'values' - as usual.

No wonder Americans do not respect Republicans.
They demonstrate over and over and over
that they do not deserve respect.

[DinahMoeHum]

47. Larry Flynt (Hustler) has higher morals than the McMahons.

At least he doesn't peddle his wares as "family entertainment".

[Initech]

48. Stay classy Linda McMahon.

[wake.up.america]

51. I say place Linda McMahon into a lumber jack match with that campaign worker, surrounded by..-

other disgruntled workers.

[Kyad06]

52. I dint think it was an empty condom

Probably full of steroids she borrowed from her husband and their employees

[SunSeeker]

53. Wow. Don't ever change, Linda.

[hrmjustin]

54. I live in NYC so I saw her ads and by her ads you could tell she has a mean streak in her.

[Kablooie]

55. They are the party that upholds family values!

The family values of ignorant, white, backwoods families where daughters marry their fathers at 13.

[Botany]

57. If this is true i hope they file a criminal complaint about passing bad checks

...... because the condom (U.R. screwed) shows that Linda and company
knew the checks were bad.

[bonniebgood]

58. Linda and co. was the own who got screwed, Linda and Company

were paying these people 800.00 per day. They worked for the MONEY and went right
into that booth and voted for Obama. They knew she would not win in a BLUE STATE.
They did it for the Money. They said so.

[sellitman]

59. Now Linda can go back to making Wrestling Porn

Another family values Rethuglican bites the dust. I live here in CT and this election was the most satisfying of my lifetime.

As a bonus we finally got rid of Joe
