Not that Hannah Montana isn't already bad enough, now the Disney cash avalanche is being harnessed by the Republicans. The National Republican Senatorial Committee got their mitts on some tickets, offering them up to the members of the brood willing to raise or donate ten grand. A NRSC yeshole confirmed the success of the event, with a take nearing six digits when it was all said and done.
Holy damn. Not only are people willing to sink to new and exciting levels of depravity (nothing XXX yet, at least that I have seen), but now even the GOP is trying to horn in on the action. I can understand there are people out there with way more money than fucking sense, like people with Hummers, anyone who spends more than twenty bucks a month downloading various ringtones and other forms of fuckery on their cell phones, people with more than three ribbon magnets on their vehicle, Britney Spears...the list goes on three days past forever.
No way I can reconcile in my mind someone spending ten grand on concert tickets, not for the Rolling Stones, not for some kid lip synching Disney jingles and keeping her dad just this side shy of milk carton territory, not even for the reanimated corpse of Jim fucking Morrison. Not to mention, this has to be the lamest play for political favor ever. Bar none. Couldn't be a very fine line between hardcore lobbying and fighting back the bile as you sign a ten grand check so your kid can see the offspring of Billy Ray Cyrus, but I'd hate to think the winning team in the White House next year hitched their wagon to this in the name of fundraising.
Then again, I suppose it could have been worse. The NRSC could have jumped behind Jamie Lynn Spears. Regardless of how much cash it would (or would not) have raised, you know the backpedaling would be priceless, and that kind of karma has always been non-refundable...
