If You Know What's Good For You

Our former Senator, the disgraced Carol "Mostly Fraud" Moseley-Braun, is back in the news, capitalizing on her post-Senate-loss Clinton administration appointments to be ambassador to New Zealand and then Samoa, has come up with a new line of work---Ambassador Organics. Tribune here. Some applauded the move as a natural transition from politics. Others:

But her latest move provided grist for those who see her political career as a disappointment and Braun herself as someone with promise who proved unequal to the stature of the offices she held.

"If she were a serious politician, then it would be unusual," said Alton Miller, Braun's communications director during her 1992 Senate primary and now an associate dean at Chicago's Columbia College.

But one Democrat political consultant in Illinois who worked for her is in her corner:

I think anybody who thinks it's unseemly ought to just pay attention to their own business and stay out of Carol Moseley Braun's. You got nothing nice to say about somebody, don't say anything."

She hasn't yet figured out what organic product she's selling but I have a name for it----.

And I guess her marketing slogan is " Buy it if you know what's good for you"!
