One way to filter money to liberal senators is through book and lecture deals. Random house is giving Barak Obama a hefty $1.9 million for three books yet to be written. One of them for children to be written with his wife and children and based on his experiences as a kid.
And then there was the huge amount given to Hillary.
I guess the senators just have too much time on their hands and need a second job.
Or they just waste it trying to get filibusters or digging up garbage on nominees.
