LOl! That was quite a confession there.Thirty grand will buy you anything you want with the pollsters.Love to hear what Pat Cadell has to say about that one.
One of the things that has recently crept into my speculation, and it is a shift in my view of how I think the world actually works, is that it is dirt cheap to buy a dishonest act.
Just to put some numbers on it, I used to figure it took maybe 100 grand, or half a million, to buy a position from a Congressman. But recent reports, and stories like this one, make me think that positions and stories can be had for a pittance. The only crooks making the big bucks are the ringleaders, the Clintons, Bushs, Obamas of the world.
And it doesn’t necessarily take cash money either. Dana Perino can be had by inviting her to parties and family outings. $2,000 a month, tops. She’d take a bullet for the team.
