Here’s a political endorsement Dems don’t want. Alleged college scammer Jane Buckingham — the marketing CEO accused of paying $50,000 for her son to get into the University of Southern California — was a co-host of a Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand fund-raiser days before the indictments hit.

Buckingham is listed as a co-host for a high-end Beverly Hills, Calif., event at the home of Los Angeles FC owner Larry Berg and his wife, Allison, last Saturday to fund Gillibrand’s exploratory 2020 presidential run.

Co-hosts also included Will Ferrell, “Scandal” creator Shonda Rhimes and her über agent Chris Silbermann, plus Harvard MBA and author Samantha Ettus. It cost donors $2,800 to be a co-host of the event.

I’d like to see the names of the students who bought their way into college released also. I’ll bet a lot of them are in the current House of Representatives.

The rich and the famous want to decide how we live our lives, while doing whatever they please.

To anyone who isn’t a Democrat, this is no surprise.

To anyone who is a Democrat can’t comprehend what’s going on, and will continue with their voting habits. Cognitive dissonance.

There may not be that many because they can trade political favors for admission; they don't have to spend cash.

But, otherwise, this scandal so defines liberalism . . . they are so much smarter and more moral than the rest of us because they are!

Is it too soon to be scolding these people for their excessive displays of “liberal privilege”?!

How would you feel if you found out it cost $250,000 for your parents to grease the skids of college acceptance for you, but it only cost $50,000 for some other dolt. Either you’re really dumb, or your parents are, or maybe both!

Personal morality doesn’t matter, it’s how much money you give to Democrats that determines whether you are going to heaven.

Help me out here.

Frankly I’d be ashamed, at the least NOT proud, that my kid was attending the University of Southern California.

What the hell are they famous for that stupid people are paying thousands of bucks to get their loser kids in that place? What the hell does that college teach for which it is famed?

Study of the LGBTABCDEF? “My Name is Jazz” taught by Jazz, who is a girl no matter what his penis says? “12 more years till the world ends by heat”?

My prediction is that THIS incident, as it continues to inflate, will change things in this culture big time.

I read somewhere that the Desperate Housewives cheating slut was in a march defaming Trump.

Dear Lord, please make these people get a clue, lose any power they have and may their kids be denied their cheating riches.

Also, and finally for your boredom, does anybody think these kids like the ones on that yacht really do any work to get that college degree? You don’t think they hire someone to take their tests, write their essays, do their homework?

Lord, keep this growing till the culture regains a clue about equality and fairness.

Entitled kids are used to all of this. I don’t think anything bothers them.

USC is hardly an elite school. It’s hard to believe that parents are actually bribing their offspring in. How dummm they must be.

I find it interesting that Hollywood moguls are being taken down (#metoo) the fake media is being exposed and now the uber liberal universities. If this guy has been getting away with this for 24 years, I bet he had a lot of help in keeping this “secret.” What has changed?

You’re right. USC has never been known as a premiere academic institution. These people went to a lot of unnecessary effort to get their dumb kids admitted to a second rate university. A relatively small direct donation would have done the trick.
