Say It Ain't So Already

Meg Whitman, the former CEO of eBay who is running for governor of California, just made a $20 million donation to her own campaign, on behalf of herself.

So, it looks like the writing is on the wall:  Nobody should even consider running for office unless (1) they’re already a bazillionaire and they can finance their own campaign, or (2) per today’s ruling by the Republicans on the Supreme Court, they suck up to a corporation who will be their benefactor by promising to introduce all sorts of legislation that would benefit that corporation once they’re elected.

Oh, and by the way, the corporation a potential candidate sucks up to can be any corporation, even one from oh, say China, because they get to donate as much money as they want to our campaigns too.

Woo hoo.
