A slip of the lip for Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI)
A Congressman can't be too careful in dealing with the media. Latest example: Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI) who represents Morton Salt's Manistee evap plant, responded to a question on page 17 of today's print issue of The Hill newspaper, in "The Culinary Inquisition" by reporter Kris Kitto. The question seemed innocuous: "Salty or sweet." Apparently caught without a District-sensitive staffer at his elbow, Hoekstra opted for "sweet." It's an election year, Congressman. What will the Manistee precincts think?
