The Governator as Ticketmaster

Governor Schwarzenegger (doesn't that still sound wrong?), will be selling tickets he received from the embattled mortgage company, (and named predatory lender), Ameriquest. For $100,000 a pop you can get a seat in the Arnuld's luxury box at a Rolling Stones concert in Boston.

Leaving aside the blatant hypocrisy of a governor scalping tickets for political gain after running on a platform that firmly promised not to fundraise while in office, what sane person would actually pay for that "priviledge?"

This the real cause of the decline of our political system. There is apparently no longer anything that is considered too pathetic or too tacky, to fall outside the realm of proper decorum for a publicly elected official.
