Indeed. And you're absolutely right.Government bureaucrats who agree to be the one who goes under the bus and make a scandal go away are often rewarded with lucrative private-sector jobs. Just don't kid yourself that this only happens under Democratic administrations. It is the common practice on both sides of the aisle.
Of course Ms Lerner will do so, just likeLewis "Scooter" Libby, Chief of Staff to Vice President Dick Cheney. Convicted of making false statements, obstruction of justice and perjury and subsequently disbarred. Currently Senior Vice President of the Hudson Institute.I'd go on through the list of presidents, but you get the point.
Henry Cisneros, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Bill Clinton. Indicted on 18 counts of conspiracy, giving false statements and obstruction of justice. Pled guilty to a misdemeanor count of lying to the FBI in a negotiated plea deal and fined $10,000. Currently co-chair of the Bipartisan Policy Center's Housing Commission and Immigration Task Force. Also Executive Chairman of the CityView companies.
Then they can afford that expensive loofah so as to scrub the tire marks off their back later, while living in luxury knowing it takes no time at all for busy people bombarded with new news and scandal, to forget all about their being a speed bump in dirty politics.
Sadly, as a tax payer, we have to say they get what we pay for.
That's so wrong!
I wrote Obama a very polite letter years ago during the Wall street FAIL scandal asking for a bail out, while watching an investment broker there whine to the press about how he had to put receipt of his custom ordered Lear jet on hold.
I gave the President what I thought were good reasons to send me a nice fat check too, being I'm an independent business owner hoping to survive the economy WS made of American's reality.
Obama wrote back!
I opened the envelope hoping for money, yeah sure, and instead found an auto-pen signed personal reply on official White house heavy gauge stationary promising he'd referred my letter to the proper offices so as to assist my concerns and inquiry for funding.
When the Secret Service didn't show up clinking me in cuffs so as to introduce me to a slow cruise to Cuba, I figured good things were in store.
A week later I received an application to request financial assistance from the Small Business Association.
I framed it and the local bus schedule over the part of the desk where I keep my company check book. And over that frame is a single DVD case from my DVD library perched on a very tiny shelf with the documentary, "Inside Job", front and center.
Ya gotta laugh because otherwise you could wake up and find out this is all really happening.
