Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe is now under an FBI investigation for breaking campaign
donation laws. That is pretty remarkable in itself considering our U.S. Supreme Court
basically has determined that here are no laws anymore where it comes to money hungry
politicos gobbling up as much cash as they possibly can for any and all sources.
You can generally divide the bundles into several categories. One is the true believers
– Thanks for them – they actually believe in something. Then there are the mercenaries
– who have a personality trait of never doing anything unless they are well paid off.
But it’s the 3rd class of bundles that are the most peculiar and down right sad in so
many ways. They are what the politicos behind closed doors call the “celebrity ***”.
Both Democrats and Republicans have their short list of the folks they call their celebrity
***.
They are typically social climbers who collect pictures of themselves with their arms around
politicos of every description: Has beens, up comers, and those that are
barely recognizable to most of us. They spend months even years bundling 2 thousand to 10
thousand dollar checks like trained flying monkeys in hopes that hey can rub elbows at
a White House dinner party with people they don’t know and who know them according only
to how much cash they have gathered together for their celebrity candidates.
It’s not only the discussions behind closed doors that take place about the celebrity
*** bundler that is so sad. It’s also the real possibility that they will be drawn
into an FBI investigation like the one Terry McAuliffe faces today.
Like so many FBI investigators where the celebrity candidate walks and the celebrity *** bundler
takes the fall.
About a month ago, an acquaintance of mine sent a text out describing how he was on his
way to the Virginia mansion to smoke cigars with WJC and a room full of other bundlers.
He was a character that definitely would fall into the celebrity *** class of bundlers.
Dems, just like the Republicans, are masters at identifying them. And as I read the FBI
story about the McAuliffe investigation, it seemed so clear that until we force money
out of politics, the mercenaries will continue to prosper.
The ideology bundlers will continue to believe that the system is actually working and the
celebrity *** bundlers will continue to be made fun of behind closed doors – until
they ultimately take the fall for their one time favorite celebrity candidate who has
once again charmed them into breaking the law.
In exchange for a picture; In exchange for a dinner party at the White
House or at the Virginia Governor’s masion - and maybe a cigar with WJC.
