Culture of corruption — presidential lieberry edition

Bush "pioneer" caught on tape soliciting bribes in exchange for White House access --

A member of Homeland Security has offered access to the misadministration for a small donation a "couple hundred thousand dollars," payable to the legacy-enhancing GW Dumbass Collecshun of Faivrit Popup Books.

Stephen Payne, a Bush pioneer and a political appointee to the Homeland Security Advisory Council, was caught on tape offering access to key members of the Bush administration inner circle in exchange for “six-figure donations to the private library being set up to commemorate Bush’s presidency.”

In an undercover video, Payne is seen promising to arrange a meeting for an exiled leader of Krygystan with Dick Cheney or Condoleezza Rice. (Not Bush because “he doesn’t meet with a lot of former Presidents these days,” Payne says. “I don’t think he meets with hardly anyone.”) All it will take for him to arrange this high-level meeting, says Payne, is “a couple hundred thousand dollars, or something like that.”

What a perfect way to "commemorate" Preznit Integritude’s presidency! How very fitting!
