Remember when I told you that Dick Armey is so rotten to the core that Freedom Works was willing to pay him $8 to just leave?

Well, the Dick speaks.

“I can’t stay [at FreedomWorks], I can’t work with people like this, and I can’t afford to leave with empty pockets,” Armey told ABC of his thought process at the time.

As a consultant, Armey will receive $400,000 a year until he turns 92, a total of $8 million. The deal will allow him to, as he said, “never have to work again ever.”

Okay, numero uno – Dick Armey has never worked a day in his life.  He’s a man who will never drown in his own sweat.  It is said that he’s not afraid of hard work – he can lay down right beside it and sleep like a baby.

Numero dos – So, Republicans are saying we should raise the tax increase level to people who make over $500,000 a year.  If you don’t have to work on $400,000 a year, $350,000 a year sounds like the perfect cut-off level.

Numero threeo – Only in America does being a total rightwing jerk pay so well.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
