Anyone NOT see this coming?
It’s not a policy institution, and it certainly is not a “think” tank — it’s an Action Tank!:
Some of the wealthiest Republican CEOs on Wall Street have formed a group to take advantage of new fundraising possibilities for the GOP, now that the Supreme Court has opened the door to unlimited corporate donations:
- Kenneth Langone, a former director of the New York Stock Exchange who defended a $139.5 million bonus in 2004 and has been sued for “extortion, defamation, fraudulent misrepresentation.”
- Robert K. Steele, a former CEO of Goldman Sachs, helped Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson make his former bank one of the biggest beneficiaries of the $700 billion bailout.
- Norm Coleman, who supported President Bush’s 2005 bankruptcy bill.
- Ed Gillespie, a political strategist and former Counselor to the President in the George W. Bush White House, whose lobbying firm represents Enron, Citibank, Bank of America, Zurich Financial, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
- Haley Barbour, the governor of Mississippi and a former chairman of the Republican Party.
- Fred Malek, an investor and official in the Nixon and first Bush administrations.
And of course, no graft and corruption franchise would be complete without a member of the Bush Crime Family, so wait for it…
Jeb Bush, former governor of Florida.
And you can now bet me that Jeb is running for President.

Is there anyone so cretinous or crapulous that they can be brought or bought to vote for another Bush presidency?
Another Bush in the White House? They might as well paint it shit brown!
The possibility of some truly hideously loathesome and disgusting new political alliances should at least provide the grist for great horror literature.
A new age of Goth is upon us at last.
