Labor Minister Nominee Fabricated Career

Labor Minister-designate Lee Young-hee was reported Tuesday to have fabricated his work experience.

Lee said he previously served as a committee member of the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) in a resume he submitted to the National Assembly for hearings on his nomination.

But this was not the case, a source said.

According to his resume, Lee was represented as working with the commission as a labor delegate member from 1997 till 2000.

The nominee attached a certificate issued by the Ministry of Labor as evidence supporting his work experience.

This proved to be false after an official of the commission confirmed that Lee never worked with the NLRC, the source said.

As Pat Paulsen used to say:

Picky, picky, picky.

Actually, this guy does sound a bit like Pat Paulsen.

To wit:

These days, so does Ralph Nader.

There's not much of ol' Pat on the youtube, but there is one gem I had never seen. Apparently, no one ever saw it:

If that was the worst problem with the incoming administration, I'd be happy.
