This video is fantastic! It is the story of a energy lobbyist and how placing an ad with PolluterHarmony.com helped him to find his soulmate and partner in gutting clean energy bills, Lisa Murkowski.
This video is somewhat satirical but sadly it is based on the troubling fact that our Senator has sold what little integrity she had to begin with to the oil and gas lobbyists. Going so far as to allow them to craft bills for her.
And perhaps even more sadly, thanks to the recent decision by the Supreme Court to overturn campaign spending limits on corporations, she will have unlimited funds to use in her bid for re-election. This means that the citizens of Alaska would have a very difficult time attempting to replace her with a Senator that will represent THEM instead of the wealthy corporations.
I have to wonder if Senator Murkowski receives her corporate payoff through the usual means or if they simply leave the money on the bureau when she is finished providing her service?

Somewhat satirical? I would have to say 100% satirical view of a very real situation. Regardless of the satire involved, the situation is 100% real.
ReplyDeleteSo, a 100% satirical take on a 100% real situation.
The word "somewhat" does not belong.
The Alaska Democratic Party needs to ask the DNC and the White House for help NOW! Remember what happened in Massachusetts?
ReplyDeleteI thought Lisa had taken care to have an unusually brilliant office staff. Lobbyists need not write legislation. Lisa's brilliant folks can do that. They probably have too much to do. Not enough hours in the day. I'm not a repub though.
