The Billionaire Boys Club
Breaking news from MPR. Trust fund tycoon Sen. Mark Dayton (heir to the Dayton Hudson retailing fortune) has just endorsed the Presidential bid of trust fund tycoon Sen. John Kerry (first mate of the widow to the heir of the Heinz condiment fortune). This move no doubt will move the polling numbers among occupants of mansions all over Kenwood, Crocus Hill, and Summit Avenue.
Except for those mansions owned by wealthy ambulance-chasing lawyers. As quoted below, Dayton believes that people of this lower station in life are beneath consideration for holding office:
Dayton says Kerry's breadth of political experience and expertise on the economy and foreign relations makes him a better candidate Edwards.
"I like John Edwards. I've served with him over the last three years as well, but I don't think that a high priced legal advocate is any substitute for dedicated public service," he said.
Translation - if in your life you have ever had to spend your time actually earning a living, you’ve got no place in government. At least not when a trust fund millionaire dilettante is also in the race.
I also like Dayton’s choice of words for describing Edwards: “a high priced legal advocate”. That’s Dayton saying, 'guys like Kerry and me hire guys like Edwards. So don’t waste your vote on the hired help, when you can get the lord of the manor himself.'
