What an Ass!

by: Jay Lassiter

Fri Sep 03, 2010 at 07:30:20 AM EDT



Congressional wannabe John Runyan made millions of dollars playing a game (protected by a government-sanctioned monopoly) in hundred million dollar taxpayer-financed stadiums.  Upon retirement, he promptly took a government subsidy to turn his luxury McMansion into a  hobby farm.

Thankfully, Congressman John Adler is taking him to task for it.  

As featured on Hardball:

An insult (4.00 / 1)
Jay - you insulted jackasses by comparing them to Jon Runyan!

"Stewards of the land" (0.00 / 0)
I'm so sick and tired of these "stewards of the land" who live on glorified mini-estates and charge the rest of us for their moat of green and lovely the rest of us don't get to live on. There are a bunch of these fools in Hunterdon County where I live.

As far as I see, this issue alone - and there are so many more - is reason enough to vote against Runyan.

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.  


It takes a jackass (0.00 / 0)
And he would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for that dastardly John Adler calling him out!

(Plus, the decidedly un-farmlike mansion on steroids doesn't help.)
