Happiness Can Be Bought
May 31st, 2009
Obviously. So please save your the-best-things-in-life-are-free spiel. Some indeed are, but lots of wicked awesome things are not.
Louis Susman was first rumored to be the next US ambassador to the UK three months ago.
He deserves this honor because he raised oodles of cash for Obama: between $200,000 and $500,000 for Obama’s presidential campaign and another $300,000 for his inauguration.
This, combined with Obama’s choice of squillions of tax cheats, his overt social-engineering and his promotion of those without sufficient qualifications, all adds up to shooting our meritocracy in the face with a bazooka.
Along with Susman, Charles Rivkin has been nominated as ambassador to France (he also collected more than $500,000 for Obama’s campaign and $300,000 for his inauguration) and John Roos as ambassador to Japan (he raised more than $500,000).
By my calculations, therefore, the next potential ambassador to Eritrea probably raised about $300 for The One’s ascension.
That’ll teach anyone else to be so lackadaisical.
