The article was about snakes of BOTH parties. Because Santorum was doing the exact same thing as Clinton did for the Philadelphia concert.

U2 and the "luxury suite" senator scandal. It kind of sounds like ancient Roman times.

U2 has some sort of a political dilemna on they're hands with all of the sucking up they've done to change international politics, you'd think these simple-minded politicians would offer the tickets to the downtrodden and poor who would truly enjoy the show.

Our goverment representatives doing what they do best....being total fucking assholes, turning something good into a greedfest.

And corporations dont use booths to greese the wheels? Sure, they might not get paid for it in terms of tickets but come on.

Sorry U2, you aren't going to change the luxury box system. :rolleyes:

The nice thing about publishing the article is it does give a view into how the real world works, some people may not of known at what level certain politicians work at.

Nothing new here to me, but if the choice had been different for either politician, say they threw the tickets to some sick kids or homeless families then something new could of been said about the character of the senators.

It's a bit twisted this whole concert scenario.

It is illegal to scalp in WA. ST. so they would of broken one of the laws they are paid to uphold here.

I can't picture Santorum at a U2 concert. Is it just me?

EDIT-Actually, I can't picture Hillary at one either.

The whole thing smells.

Where's Mc Cain and Feingold railing against this?

The hypocrisy stinks it up, as usual.
