I could care less about these 'pop icons' and 'celebs', but one is particularly naive to think that ANY politician would not use each and every opportunity to make $$$s for an election campaign.

Liberals, with their distorted rose-colored glass, dreamy view of things I would imagine are most susceptible to these myopic views of reality.

Politicians, in the main, are scurrilous individuals. Though you well may be correct in your contention, they avoid the problem by "giving away the tickets" in exchange for a "voluntary donation" thereby legally avoiding the appearance of acting as a "seller" or "agent".

They do all that the law allows and when they find something the law doesn't allow..., they find away around the law. That's why when you have 90% of your politicians at the national level who are lawyers, the old suggestion of starting society all over again begins with the first step of "killing all the lawyers". Impractical and imprudent, but a most desirable notion.

Bono, did she tell you that you'd "better put some ice on that"?

Unfortunately, you're incorrect and have UNDERestimated them, the politicians. Read my post #42 on this thread.

Mrs Clinton, the frontrunner to be the Democrat candidate for the White House in 2008, is charging 18 guests $2,500 (£1,400) a head to join her in a luxury box for the sold out show in Washington on Wednesday.

Wouldn't that be scalping?

I'm anxiously awaiting waiting for the John Lennon widow to marry this clown (that is after she had secretly married Cher's ex just before he made an acquaintance with a tall pine tree) and become Yoko Ono Bono Bono!

I prefer people who just keep their mouths shut and sing.

D'oh!

yes, and Negativland took the tape and integrated it into their CD single "U2" (which was sued out of existence).

"Donors are as motivated now as I've ever seen them," said the Democrat political consultant Chad Griffin.



Chad Griffin is Rob Reiner’s political consultant, the same Rob Reiner who has been mentioned as a possible candidate against Schwarzenegger in 2006.

Yeah, and Bonor seemingly had no problems at all keeping his nose firmly inserted in all the Clintons' lower-body orifices when he was looking for notoriety for his feed africa scam.

I agree. He walks the walk and understands that when people come to his concerts they don't want to be ambushed.

Good for him.
