To the highest bidder…

Paying more than a penny for dinner with a crooked politician is highway robbery. When is the FBI going to investigate this?…

Who picks up the tab? If it was a free meal, then I would be tempted to go a $1.01 just to have the fun of pointing out where she went wrong with the hurricane.
