Ah, so Schundler wants the government to spread the wealth? To him? He’s asking for a– dun dun dun-n-n!– government handout?
He must have been indoctrinated. Socialist!
It’s amazing how hefty mortgage payments and college tuition can make one do crazy things like beg for unemployment benefits:
Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) has fired his state Education Commissioner Bret Schundler, as a result of errors and misrepresentations from Schundler in a matter costing the state $400 million in federal “Race to the Top” money. At the same time, the firing has been arranged at Schundler’s request in such a manner so that Schundler — a former leading figure of the state GOP’s right wing — will be able to collect unemployment benefits.
The key detail is that Schundler preferred to be fired, rather than submit his resignation. “I asked if they would mind writing a termination letter, instead of a resignation letter, because I do have a mortgage to pay, and I do have a daughter who’s just started college,” Schundler said, the Star-Ledger reports. “And I, frankly, will need the unemployment insurance benefits until I find another job. … And they said fine. They said sure.”
Hyp. O. Crites.
