It appears there won't be much difference between the Gov. Jim McGreevey
administration and a Gov. Jon Corzine administration. That is if recent
events are a sneak peek into a future Gov. Corzine administration. And if
Corzine can win an election.
Corzine got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, not for taking the
cookies that weren't his cookies. Oh no, he was caught putting cookies into
another jar under an assumed name. Confused? You should be. That's how he intended it.
Corzine got nabbed donating $37,500 to the Bergen County Democratic machine
and well there's nothing really dirty about that, well not until it was
revealed that Corzine funneled another $37,500 through his mother's bank
account and into the coffers of the Bergen County Dems machine.
Oiling the political machine twice in New Jersey is illegal. There are
limits to the amount of oil you can give a particular political machine and
$37,500 is that particular limit for a guy like Corzine.
Corzine is trying to play all coy about getting nabbed, but his poor old
mother is now stuck in the middle.
You see, she is an 89-year-old retired school teacher living in Illinois.
And she's living there on her teacher's pension.
The NJEA may get good raises for its teachers, but no teacher is retiring
with enough income to dole out $37,500 to some political machine that is
almost 1,000 miles away. Oh, sure, Corzine tried to play it off, saying, his
mother is a very frugal woman.
Well, Jonnie, as anyone can figure out, frugal means you would never throw
good money after bad.
But to add to the shame for Corzine, his own mother admitted that she
"doesn't like all these elections and stuff."
So it would appear Corzine is just another Charlie Kushner in disguise and
trying to buy influence with Bergen County Democrats.
You do remember Kushner, don't you?
He donated thousands upon thousands of dollars to Democrats in New Jersey
and put family members names on the check to hide his double, triple and
quadruple maximum donations. The feds caught him and he's heading to jail.
Oh you don't remember him for those faux pas? Well maybe you'll recall that
this was the guy who hired an expensive New York city hooker, had her
seduce his brother-in-law into a Bridgewater motel, where the two did the
nasty which was secretly videotaped by two goons hired by Kushner. After the
two "love birds" were finished, Kushner did what any self-respecting
slimeball would do, he packaged up the videotape nice and tidy and sent it
off to his beloved sister for her viewing pleasure. She turned it over to
the FBI. Apparently Kushner thought the videotape would quiet his sister and
brother-in-law long enough for them to stop helping the FBI find some pretty
nasty skeletons in Kushner's closet.
Oh, now you remember! I figured as much. Well, before Kushner got his start
in the family caught on porn business, he used his family's names to dole
out cash in an effort to influence politicians, just like Corzine's doing
now.
A few weeks after Kushner's skeletons were pulled out of the closet, our
former Jim McGreevey came out of his own closet to inform everyone he was
gay.
That's when Corzine sprung into action trying to wrestle away the governor's
office early. That didn't work. McGreevey stuck around for a few months.
It is important to note that Corzine, who likes to paint himself as some
Trenton outsider, was one in the select group of power brokers who were
called to McGreevey's side before he made his announcement about being gay.
Corzine an outsider? Hard to see that.
Yup! I see that.
It was easy to funnel money into Democratic Party machines when he had a
Mrs. Jon Corzine to write out second checks, but now that she has been
replaced, I guess he has to turn to Mommy for some of his dirty deeds.
Corzine, Kushner and McGreevey, three peas in a pod.
