Michelle Malkin tells us how the pros do it:
Former senior senator from Delaware and current Vice President Joe Biden has a custom-built house in Delaware's ritziest Chateau Country neighborhood. It is now worth at least $2.5 million and is the Bidens' most valuable asset. Biden tapped campaign funds to pay for his compound's lawn needs. He secured the new estate with the help of a corporate executive who worked for Biden's top campaign donor, credit card giant MBNA.
In 1996, Biden sold his previous mansion to MBNA Vice Chairman John Cochran. The asking price was $1.2 million. Cochran forked over the full sum. Biden then paid $350,000 in cash to real estate developer Keith Stoltz for a 4.2-acre lakefront lot. Stoltz had paid that same amount five years earlier for the undeveloped property.
And this is just one case of "do as I say, not as I do." Then there's Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad and Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Obamas.
O'Donnell was just not sophisticated, or crooked enough. And the people handing out bribes did not consider her worth bribing.
