Do They Allow Dogs at Rick Santorum's Fundraisers?
I was reading this from All Spin Zone, and I see that Senator Rick Santorum canceled a Social Security meeting 'out of respect' for the Schinders, to be here in Tampa a few weeks ago raising money for his re-election in support of keeping Terri Schiavo alive.
He may have jetted off to the Pope's funeral, and met with the Holy Father FIVE times, but his cancellation of a Social Security Meeting in late March in order to grandstand outside the hospice where Terri Schiavo was dying was not so holy. You see, Mr. Santorum may have cancelled what he considers the nations business, of reforming Social Secuirty, but he had a whole bunch of political business he did not cancel down there in Florida -- meetings to raise money for his reelection.
[...]
There was a luncheon in Orlando and a dinner in Miami on March 29 with Florida Sen. Mel Martinez, a luncheon in Tampa March 30...and a dinner that night in Palm Beach hosted by execs from Revlon.
The trip was made on a Wal-Mart jet paid for by Santorum's campaign fund.
Total take, according to Santorum finance director Rob Bickhart, was about $250,000 (en route to an April 15 FEC filing expected to show the senator with close to $3 million already).
So, my question is, next time he comes down here and has another fundraiser, because I'm sure he will, I mean he made $250,000, right? Can I bring my dog? I mean, Rick Santorum likes dogs, right? And I hate to leave Bart at home, especially when a United States Senator who loves dogs as much as Rick Santorum, is in town.
Maybe he should have one of those dog parades, or a $1000/kibble-portion dinners, or owner-dog look-alike contests. That would really bring 'em out.
