There is no reason in the world to give that kind of money to a man who is doing nothing for you.
I think his explanation about “history” gets closest to what was being done. History is “story”. He was image shaping, re-storying, etc. Narrative therapy, narrative shaping, etc., are all parts of the advertising business....the groundwork prior to launching an ad campaign.
I guess so. But it wasn’t F&F money he was paid...it ended up being OUR debt plus the trillions in bundled debt F&F guaranteed...This is what gets me the most. Barney Frank, Franklin Raines, Jaime Gorelick, and all the rest making Millions off of us (our now-debt), and apparently, Newt got some of the action, too. Anything that delayed and forestalled the eventual consequences of the F&F mess is utterly reprehensible. To me, draping a pig in silky words doesn’t change the fact that it is still a pig.
