Cronyism at Its Finest

[PapaG]

One day after going on Univision for a town hall meeting, Obama names the wife of Univision's chairman to a choice government post.

The Washington Free Beacon:

The White House announced Wednesday it has nominated Cheryl Saban, the wife of Univision chairman Haim Saban, to be a representative of the United States to the General Assembly of the United Nations.

Her husband founded Saban Entertainment—the production studio behind “Power Rangers”—in the 1980s. Haim Saban is a major Democratic donor, personally giving more than $1 million to Democratic candidates and committees in the 2012 election cycle. He has donated at least $333,333 to the Obama-affiliated Super PAC Priorities USA, which is best known for an ad suggesting Republican nominee Mitt Romney was responsible for a woman’s death, as well as $325,520 to Majority PAC, a Super PAC touted by Sen. Harry Reid (D., Nev.)....

Cheryl Saban’s nomination comes less than a month after her husband penned a New York Times op-ed defending President Obama’s Israel record

Oh I thought it would be this you are talking about.

Payroll data compiled by LegiStorm, an independent organization that tracks congressional finances, showed the six Republicans paid an average salary of $55,713 in 2010 and added in an average bonus of $3,097 to boost the total average salary to $58,810. Democrats paid an average salary of $54,375 with no bonus, leaving the average Democratic staffer earning $4,435 less than a colleague on the GOP staff.

A terrific story. Perhaps it would better in another thread rather than trying to distract from this one.

Don't complain. 6 1/2 hours after PapaG started yet another "tiny thought" thread instead of inserting it into a larger thread, that remains the only response. Papa will accept any attention he can get.

I still don't get why PapaG links us to his rss feed of extreme-right websites?

Why would you care?

Notice how almost nobody attacks the actual facts in any of the threads I've posted, and instead attack me or attack the news source?

Usually you just ignore it. But now, I think it's just become a joke for most, so unlikely to get whatever it is you want....attention I suppose. Not looking for an actual discussion, obviously.

Any discussion degenerates into people like you telling me I'm not looking for discussion.

What do you want to discuss, other than telling me that I don't want to discuss things?

You guys should be out there getting young Republican's to vote, or something. Because if shitting all over the OT board on a Blazer message board is your way of supporting the Republican party its going to be 4 more years of anger for you guys.

 

[PapaG]

Sorry Zags, you're still on ignore.

 

[MickZagger]

Sorry Zags, you're still on ignore.

I knew you'd eventually crumble.
