Linda McMahon Gets Ready to Rumble
Governor Jodi Rell wants to appoint the World Wrestling Entertainment CEO (and wrestling impresario Vince McMahon's wife) to the Connecticut state education board, but there are dissenters:
Rep. Andrew Fleischmann, D-West Hartford, participated in the hearing as a co-chairman of the Education Committee. He said he found a "disconnect" between McMahon's nomination to the school board and "the wildly unreasonable things that happen on television through your organization every day."
He said WWE promotes inappropriate behavior among children. McMahon herself has participated in the ring, kicking a wrestler in the groin and fighting with her daughter. McMahon said it is up to parents to determine whether their children should watch a WWE television program or attend a live wrestling event.
Who's next? Michael Phelps?
