But: As the piece points out, Corzine will need this woman's support when he runs for governor. Yes, he'll of course have it anyway... but perhaps with fewer voter-alienating sops to big labor than he would otherwise have had to make? Odd. We're used to seeing the money go to politicians. But here's a case where a big wad of cash went to a non-politician, or at least a non-government sort of politician, and could just buy and awful lot of goodwill. And votes. Wonder if John McCain will have anything to say about this, other than noting that Corzine is his "very good friend." Thanks to, well, the RNC. posted by Ace at 06:35 PM Comments Hell, I'd fuck for a half million. Just put a paper bag over his head. Corzine, name the time and place and be sure to bring the cash. Posted by: on August 4, 2005 07:31 PM Make that: I'd fuck him. . . Posted by: on August 4, 2005 07:34 PM Ok, there's something wrong with me, I transmogrified that lede into "Corzine Gave $470,000 Head" I am going to have to re-read every contract I reviewed this month. Dammit. Posted by: Dave in Texas on August 4, 2005 07:38 PM Eh, the left are already claiming it's ok because they were dating. I'm sure that if Bush gave and forgave some religious righty the same loan, 'They are old friends' wouldn't justify as an excuse. Doesn't anyone find it ironic that there couldn't be more loose money flowing around the democrats even if they started working at the 'Touch of Class' strip bar? Damn, I just had an image of lobbyists thrusting wads of cash into John Kerry's thong while Pelosi works the pole. Posted by: Ring on August 5, 2005 12:13 AM While this is business as usual for New Jersey, don't be surprised if it does put a serious wrench in the Corzine machine. Voters have about had enough of this in NJ, this hobnobbing between politicians and labor that always seems to end up costing us more and more in taxes. While I don't foresee a run to Forester for this, I suspect folks who would pull for Corzine will sit it out. Posted by: spongeworthy on August 5, 2005 09:23 AM Enlighten NJ has more on this. Posted by: spongeworthy on August 5, 2005 09:31 AM The judge in this case has to take a tip from Vince Lombardi and tell Corzine, "If there's something out there worth $470K, hell, I'll go with you."
