This isn’t very diligent reporting. Toad Tiahrt is in pocket for WAY more than that.
How could Brownback accumulate that much cash as a disc jockey for a Topeka radio station?
Not even an “interesting measure”. It really does not matter what their net worth is currently. For a politician it is much more important to know how they got those resources.
Didn’t his wife own a string of media outlets? Don’t know how he accumulated his wife, perhaps he is a wise investor.
How much is al-Gore worth?
My ex- went to high school with Mary Stauffer.
“Mary was a nice girl,” she said, “but oh so dull.”
I’ve met Mary since then and she’s a nice woman, but oh so dull.
I have a friend who was a frat brother of Sam (the Sham) who’s told me his plan was to marry money and get into politics.
As we learned with his first congressional campaign when he ran as the pro-choice candidate, Brownback will say anything to get elected. If a poll came out and determined most Kansans believe in shaved pu$$ies, Sam’d come out with a tabby, a razor, and can of Foamy.
If he’s elected governor he’ll spend the next two years in Iowa. Bank on it.
Sam wants to burnish his resume, if a dullard gov. from Alaska can get picked to run for v.p., just think what a dullard ks. gov. can do.
Well, we know they can become Health and Human Services secretaries, don’t we?
No, tell us, outlander? How’s that happen? Perhaps governing from the middle, finding compromise, and keeping state coffers in check? Right. That’s what I thought, too.
Or maybe being a State Insurance Commissioner and never taking an insurance company’s cash as a contribution? Maybe the creation of a new statewide agency to oversee the billions in Medicare funding spent by the feds via Kansas?
who cares? he’s still a bad senator.

Was this the same friend who told you that Rush Limbaughs ’sister’ told him Rush was gay and always had been?

How much is al-Gore worth?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==
If Gore were a member of the Kansas Congressional delegation it might be an interesting question.
FWIW, my net worth is between $420 and $4.2 million.
I don’t know what you’ve been seeing of Todd, but that is an acurate description. They are very humble, down-to-earth people. Todd is a great man!
