Jeff Zucker’s 15-year-old son leaves Cory Booker’s Internet startup over ‘conflict’ of interest
NY Daily News ^ | August 8, 2013 | Daniel Beekman

The 15-year-old son of CNN President Jeff Zucker stepped down from the advisory board of Cory Booker’s Internet startup Wednesday — hours after a news report revealed the Newark mayor and Senate hopeful was receiving stock options for the role.

The quick resignation by teenager Andrew Zucker followed revelations about the company, Waywire, and its lineup of wealthy Silicon Valley investors like Google’s Eric Schmit.

In an amended disclosure filed just last month, Booker admitted a stake in the startup worth millions, the New York Times reported.

The company will be going out of business soon, too.

And all this time I though Corey Booker was going to break the streak of Newark mayors that have gone to prison (so far at five consecutive mayors).

I dunno, maybe after they stop taking advice from a 15 year old, they might have a chance...

When I read the header I thought Cory Booker was a rapper.

I’m way out of the loop,I guess.

You know, he actually had me fooled. It was due to my false hopes. I WILL learn eventually.

Booker goes for the big bucks. No penny ante robbing parking meters like Sharpe James. James used to get a kick back from the companies who repaired broken parking meters. To keep the work going he had a crew who would go around the city breaking the meters. Booker forms a phony internet company so the Silicon Valley overlords can fill his pockets with millions. No matter how worthless the company is, someone out in Palo Alto will buy it. This scam is better than cattle futures.

“The company will be going out of business soon, too.”

After everybody gets paid (off), of course.

Remember, we are dealing with people who really do think the average American is dumber than a box of rocks, and will do whatever the Magic Glowing Box in the living room tells them to do.

And frankly, they haven’t been proven wrong, have they.

Is this the same 15 year old that is now on the board of the Wash Post?

At least the left doesn't believe in nepotism for others.
