The Victims of Super PACS – Samantha Bee

The Victims of Super PACS - Samantha Bee

Start sniffling and honking, because the only thing sadder than Jeb Bush’s super PAC is the guy who raised millions of dollars toward it – Mel Immergut.  I didn’t think I could feel sorry for a wealthy donor , but meet the man behind the “Eyes Wide Shut” mask. See if you agree that he’s a likable, decent, soft-spoken guy. Did I mention that he’s wealthy? That said, if you take Mel to a horse race, don’t let him select the winner. Immergut once backed Rudy Giuliani, and was still recovering from Mitt Romney’s loss when he began pouring  money into Jeb’s phenomenally deep coffers. Immergut muses, “I  don’t seem to bring much success with me, except – money.”  Yes, Mel Immergut is truly bummed that he has only money to contribute.  In part, the money bought the ‘Why Jeb!’ ad, where the candidate’s hand appears to be multicultural. Perhaps Jeb is about to reach across the racial divide, and shake hands?  See why Sam is right when she says that those who have the most to give, also have the most to lose.  Besides, how often do you truly get to feel sorry for a millionaire these days?
