Any word on whether seats at last night's SOTU address were included as a perk, or were they just reserved for political grandstanding?

So let me get this straight ...

You two are upset that people that support a candidate, and raise money for them, are subsequently invited to the White House for social events. And are sometimes given positions - on advisory panels and commissions - in the administration.

I suppose, yes, all administration appointments should be limited to people from the opposition party, who do not share the candidates vision. And social events should never have supporters invited. And people like Kal Penn - oh, the influence peddling!

I mean, for god's sake, Jack Kennedy appointed his brother Attorney General. How dare he!

And some have landed government contracts that appear to have aided their business interests or investment portfolios.

•At least 30 of the 2012 bundlers have ties to companies that conduct business with federal agencies or hope to do so.


I guess this eluded you...

I mean the link was eight sentences long and you missed or ignored two of them
