On Tuesday night Jon Stewart did a piece on the Michigan Right to Work Law in which he related that:
1.Gov. Richard Snyder had stated earlier in the year that he wasn't interested in a right to work law because it would cause division,
3. after the election the Republican controlled legislature adopted a right to work law, and
4. Gov. Snyder signed it.
5. Jon thought this was very hypocritical of the Gov.
What Jon left out was
2. The governor's preference for avoiding divisiness was not shared by the unions. They proposed an amendment to the constitution which would have made union power much stronger than it was before.
That is, the unions insisted on divisiveness.
The amendment failed badly.
Elections have consequences.
One can only speculate as to why Jon left out that part.
If called on it I expect that Jon would say, as he has said before, I am just a comedian.
