And we thought he was a thankless prick. The latest details to tumble out of the government's chapiteau for David Rivera reveal an almost virtuous side to the disHonorable Congresstheif. It seems ole' Dave was almost maniacal about thanking his constituents, even for elections that never took place. No matter how the steadily dawning saga of Congresstheif Rivera's operation ends, we will at least be left with a fairly hefty textbook on how the savants of our political class work the angles. When it comes to angles, Rivera is all elbows.
Setting aside character flaws for the moment-- his awkwarness with the ladies, his poor hand-eye coordination, his liberal economic policies -- the Congresstheif is a fanatical adherent to the political playbook when it comes to subsisting on the meager salary of a public servant. Like most elected officials in Florida, he's taken on a second job to help pay the bills. Nobody does it alone, and Dave has a very supportive family, willing to lend a hand to make ends meet.
Having been a fan of the political game since I was a young boy, I have found myself strangely conflicted with the Congresstheif's story. As a member of the public which this man purports to represent, I am disgusted by every aspect of this walking fiasco of a man. But part of me has always been morbidly curious with how long a guy like this could get away with it before the tent came crashing down on his little cirque du irrévérence. Now it seems the posts are beginning to show some visible stress. Look for the animals to start scurrying for safer ground. Yes, even the elephants.
