This is the Center for American Progress donor who got CAP chief John Podesta to get CAP employee Andrew Light to get Light’s wife WaPo reporter Juliet Eilperin to write a puff piece in the Washington Post flogging his dark horse candidacy for Secretary of Energy.
No, this situation is a promise that is borne out in the form of a transaction. Light will own Markey.
I’m amazed at the wealthy people who either are stupid about some subject (like AGW) or who seem generally stupid (Ted Turner comes to mind) and yet still amass or hold onto huge fortunes.
