‘ Poor’ pols have it rough
NEW York pols whining fundraising is tough. 1) Nobody’s really liking anybody. 2) Super | PACs funnel fortunes. Kochs kick in $ 800 million. How’s a puny $ 5,400 donation make any impression? 3) So many dolts running that everyone’s cannibalizing everyone. Bundlers call to hustle other bundlers. 4) The chorus line schedules so many events, donors feel no rush to support anyone. 5) A possibility of any groundswell for anyone reached anybody yet? No.
STATEN Island donor: “No politician’s exciting today. Just Vladimir Putin. I hear he’s now drinking bottomsup vodka to celebrate each of his victories. Maybe he’ll soon resign — so he can spend more quality time with his liver.”
Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
