I disagree with Jazz Shaw, here:
It’s impossible to simply skim over the irony of someone demanding to know why gas prices are so high in the very same press release where they push for an additional ten percent tax on oil extraction.
…obviously, I’m just skimming over the irony right now.
Or, as I would put it, Tom Steyer thinking of eliminating middleman by signing up to directly lose a Senate seat: “Billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer is mulling a run for Barbara Boxer’s Senate seat, according to a person close to the former hedge fund trader.” …and there’s the trouble, right there for Mr. Steyer: all those adjectives. ‘Billionaire’ is at best, neutral. ‘Environmentalist’ is not really all that helpful, even in California. And ‘hedge fund trader’ is going to be a really fun club with which to beat the prospective candidate. Continue reading Tom Steyer reportedly mulling California Senate run.
So, this ad is a thing of beauty.
So much so, that the liberal group that unwittingly caused it to come into being had to retroactively change the rules to keep it from winning said group’s phony ‘get money out of politics’ contest. You would like to think that doing that would have shamed the progressives involved, but it’s unlikely that it did. What it did do, however, was professionally embarrass some folks among their peers; and that’s nothing to sneeze at, honestly.
