When Tom Tobin is laughing at you…
You know you’ve said something pretty damn stupid:
I don’t know about you, but Joe Bruno’s getting a few chuckles in my household over his statement that he raises his campaign dough the hard way, unlike rich boy Gov. Eliot Spitzer. I don’t know if Bruno has ever put out a bigger line of fooey. Well, except for the stuff he said right before he declared himself the poor man’s candidate. He said Spitzer’s campaign finance proposal, which would lower the highest individual contribution limit in the nation, was basically un-American and certainly un-NewYork. Bruno has been plying the special interests and big-money guys as long as he’s been Senate majority leader. He doesn’t need to raise big bucks in his district as he’s had the seat so long he could run and win from the International Space Station. Bruno’s an old-style pol who cuts deals in secret, pals around with money and is about as much in tune with the grassroots democratic process as Donald Trump is with a $10 haircut.
I’ve decided to preserve the spirit of Tobin’s original post by not including any links to exactly what Joe Bruno said .
This is the best line I’ve read from Tobin in a while:
Heh.
