Ha, ha.

The UNITE HERE leadership got what they deserved -- a big fat donut.

If they had endorsed John Edwards, Edwards would have had a shot in this state, proving the union's relevancy.

Instead, they endorsed the Glibertarian Candidate, and failed to deliver. Only 2 of 9 caucus sites on the Strip went for the Culinary Candidate.

Effectively, they made themselves irrelevant because they endorsed a neoliberal glibertarian. I'm glad. When will progressives learn? Stick together!
