Kornheiser just read the email at the end of the show. He was saying how Senators and Congressmen aren't paid enough and that's why only rich people get the gig.

 

I sent him, clearly in jest... "Only among the plutocracy of the Tony Kornheiser show would a 158,100 salary base salary for Senators and Representatives be seen as a mere pittance. Leadership positions make even more money than that. The only reason why there are more rich people in Congress is because it costs so much money to campaign for the position, not because they get paid so little. There does not need to be a pay raise; there needs be a change in the campaign finance laws to allow the peasants who aren't on sports radio shows to afford to run for office."
