Five Facts about Linda McMahon

I did not know all of these - some good stuff here in an email from the DNC today:


1) McMahon puts profits before people -- the same year she laid off 10 percent of her work force, McMahon took home $46 million. The $50 million she's spending on her campaign could have kept those workers employed for another six years.

2) She didn't provide truthful responses to several questions on a State Board of Education background questionnaire -- including questions about her college degree -- and then resigned from the board the day after the Hartford Courant announced it would be disclosing her responses.

3) Days after the BP oil spill began gushing gallons of oil into the Gulf, McMahon sent out a glossy mailer promising that she'd push for increased offshore drilling, calling the current regulations surrounding drilling near the coast "burdensome."

4) As CEO of WWE, she regularly condoned and promoted sexually explicit television programming which glorified violence and the degradation of women -- to audiences that included young children.

5) The New London Day reported that she tried to protect a doctor who was selling steroids to professional wrestlers, ordering a fellow executive to tip him off when she learned that he was part of a federal investigation.
