The Snowbilly, Part II

You know how GOP Cocksucker #412 (CARIBOU BARBIE) calls the $20 billion the Obama administration demanded BP pay to clean up its mess in the Gulf a 'slush fund'? Well, get a load of what she spends money from HER PAC on.

- $10,000 a month for a retainer for the family lawyer.

- $6,500 to one of her buddies, Ivy Fry, for 'clerical' work and reimbursement for stamps and copies. In the first quarter of this year alone Fry got $18,000 for the same thing.

Talk about forking it out to your friends.

Then for a woman of the People, she sure spends a lot on consultants, just like any ol' politician. The AP has her spending $210,000 on 'em out of $866,000 in donations that are supposed to go to GOP candidates

- $30,000 to Orion Strategies, a lobbying firm representing foreign governments.
- $22,000 to Aries Petra Consulting. That was to write her stuff for her on Facebook.
- $36,000 to NorthStar Strategies, this is the company owned by Jason Recher, the pain-in-the-ass who fucked up campaign events McCain had carefully worked out.
- $2,500 to IzzyLene Strategies, the firm created by her former spokesman, Meg Stapleton, for media strategies.
- $35,000 to Grey Strategies, an Ohio consulting firm.
- $10,000 to True North L'Attitudes for scheduling, whatever the hell THAT is. The creator of the firm, Robyn Engibous, also got nearly $1,400 in reimbursements for office supplies and mileage.
- $49,000 for copies of her book over this year and the last one.

Guess how much went to candidates teabaggers like? $82,500.

So she spent less than 10% on candidates and a little more than 25% on consultants?
