His name is Chip Cravaak.  He’s from Minnesota was swept into office during the 2010 midterm election on the Tea Party platform.

And all that’s okay.  Except, he’s a Tea Party guy who is a union member and  he’s taking government payments.

After two-month delay, Rep. Chip Cravaack filed his annual financial disclosure forms with the House of Representatives on Aug. 18.

Cravaack’s earned income for fiscal year 2010 topped out at $92,273; the cash comes in the form of disability payments for sleep apnea, which ended his flying career with Northwest Airlines, now Delta Airlines, in 2007.

If he worked for an airline, he was a member of a union, and  he benefited from union negotiated salaries, vacations, work hours and those negotiations ended up determining what he’d get in disability payments.

He rails against unions today.  The very unions that protect him to this day.

And he’s on Disability.  But, he can work as a congressman.  But, he’s on Disability.  But, he can work.  Well, as much as a congressman works.

I do not get these guys.  Are they that stoopid or do they think WE are?

Thanks to Carl for the heads-up.
