Theater is the only thing U.S. Senate is good at. And maybe getting bribed, but that's beside the point.
Are you trying to tell me that you don't have gold bars in your closet? Who doesn't have at least one Egyptian gold bar somewhere in their couch cushions?
I prefer the smell of cash, so I keep my name branded jacket pockets full of them.
I prefer my bribes... er... contributions in gold just in case I need to relocate quickly to a country without an extradition treaty. Who wants to mess around with exchange rates?
Gold, ha. Apparently American politicians are awfull cheap to bribe.
Remember that one that was hiding her bribe in her bra? https://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/FedCrimes/story?id=6132629
So she got 3½ years and was released in September 2013. Then in February 2014 she received an award from the mayor of Boston as one of 18 "women of color changing our world." I wonder where she put the award?
Bobert has the theatre thing down pretty well.
