I think Gibbs should tread a much safer route…

So Linda McMahon won the Connecticut GOP Primary…
… a sure sign that Money is way ahead of reasonable political need.
A lot of my friends know that, back in the late 70s/early 80s I had Linda McMahon and her wrestling operation as a client when I was a photographer 0on Cape Cod. The McMahons had bought the Cape Cod Coliseum and were running their empire-under-construction from there. I got hired to do photography of wrestlers, visiting programs (circus, John Denver, etc.) and advertising pieces.
Elly and I moved our photography business to Hartford Connecticut and soon thereafter the McMahon’s moved what was then WWF (now WWE) to Greenwich. A few years after I had worked for her, I was attending a Hartford Business program that the McMahon’s were speaking at because they were bringing a big wrestling match to town. I went up to her to say hello, and she claimed she didn’t remember who I was and was quite rude. That was my last contact with Linda McMahon until now, about a quarter of a century later, when she invaded my home TV here in West Virginia with her political campaign on the news.
Here she is this morning on ABC:
I sure as hell hope my old friends and family (Cassandra, are you reading this?) do everything they can to get Blumenthal elected Senator. If I were still there, I would.
A Quote (from Charlie Rangel) for the Day…
“
The president wants dignity. Let’s have dignity in this House where the ethics committee means something and that none of you, if the newspapers say anything, will have to wait two years before you can say ‘no comment.’ … I don’t expect answers today. But at the end of the day, somebody, somebody has to do more than wish I go away.”
– Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) responding to those wishing that he resign because of ethics charges.
Charlie dared his critics to kick him out and asked that the ethics charges be expedited. The ethics trial is scheduled to start Sept. 13, a day before Rangel will face his district’s Democratic primary voters.
