Listen, all of you aspiring candidates, the new first rule of politics is if someone wants to donate to your campaign and they are wearing a fedora, you need to, not just walk, but run away.
If I was a candidate and I saw someone who looked like that, I would think twice about taking their check. And to think US Senator George LeMieux wondered where Rothstein’s money came from, but didn’t want to “criticize” someone who was so generous should make you seriously question LeMieux’s judgment. Senator LeMieux, wasn’t your best friend like the Attorney General at the time you dealt with Rothstein? Couldn’t you drop a dime to Charlie and ask him to take a closer look at this pinstripped pimp. Didn’t you see any of the photos of Jack Abramoff and how creepy he looked in his frekin’ fedora.
As wide-open as South Florida may be, it ain’t Casablanca. So unless you’re Humphrey Bogart, leave the fedora at home. Otherwise, you look like a douchebag.
