he said, she said, he has an ax to grind......not too much meat on those bones. I mean, I agree with the donors position on Medical Marijuana, and suspect Wasserman-Shultz had a position based solely on voter sentiment, not deep convictions. Still, far too much, 'he claims' and too little real proof. Sounds like a political squabble to me, but then, I have no horse in the race anyway.

It might come back to haunt her if she decides to step into the presidential race. Palm greasing only works when those palms are never used to shake the hands of the public. Look what happened to our own gov. in Oregon? His palms got a little too greasy from massaging his girlfriend to hide politically. :wink:

she is far too much of a lightweight to ever merit serious consideration, IMHO, and yes, I actually get to have some insight into that process.
