Castle, Wenk & Co. still enjoying sweet lobbyist perks
My pre-election exposé highlighting the lobbyist paid trips and perks being sucked up by Castle and his staff like so much cocaine being snorted by a nubile super model in an Amsterdam hotel room seems to have had little effect.
Additional reports that have worked their way through the system reported on by opensecrets.org show that Castle, Wenk et al are still living the good life thanks to the generosity of lobbyists who don’t expect ANYTHING in return. (wink, wink).
Then again, maybe I’m just being cynical. Maybe the $5,290.00 trip to Montego Bay Jamaica was for legitimate business purposes. Who knows?
So nice to see you haven’t lost your luster…er, I mean lust for Castle (and Wenk).
Who else did you search besides the object of your affection? I found an interesting one, in particular, one that cost over $10,000 for a one-nighter in DC! How the hell does that happen? For that tid-bit, look here.
For one list we can all laugh at, look
here.
Well, my first link didn’t work (the one with the $10,000 + one-nighter to DC), so try, try again:
A $10k one-nighter in DC?!
It looks like both Biden and Castle have some explaining to do.
But wait…that would depend on Delawareans giving a crap, which (let’s face it)they don’t.
BTW – Congratulations Dad!
Jason,
Be careful. While you were on hiatus, Dr. Nick took up the Castle-bashery – I’d hate to see the two of you get in a pissing match.
The more the merrier. Castle’s special brand of fraudulent political tip-toeing is an anathema to a great many people.
Republicans don’t like him because his spineless “leadership” he has hollowed out the torso of the state Republican party and used the empty chest cavity as a urinal.
Other, like myself, hate the fact that he is a fake moderate who has supported Bush’s war from the get go – while still others hate his absolute unwillingness to take a firm stand on anything other than stem cell research.
As far as I’m concerned “Castle revulsion” is valid no matter how you come by it.

I had forgotten how much I missed Jason.
I googled the creepy Aspen Inst. what sent them.
Budinger from Rodel is on that Aspen board along with Kissenger et. al.
