Burns jokes about Italian-Americans
By LESLIE MILLER, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON -
Republican Sen. Conrad Burns, who has gotten into hot water before for
comments seen as disparaging various groups, joshingly remarked
Thursday on the number of Italian-Americans at the Federal Aviation
Administration.
The Montana senator, facing a tough re-election fight against Democrat
Jon Tester, was heading an aviation subcommittee hearing of the
Commerce Committee when two FAA officials, Michael Cirillo and
Nicholas Sabatini, introduced themselves as witnesses.
"I'm wondering if that's all they're hiring," Burns said of the
federal agency.
