We’ve seen it way too many times before—celebrities and Democrat politicians cozy up to each other to the point that they’re indistinguishable from one another, and the money flows like wine at a Bacchanalia. Massive Netflix deals are doled out to no-longer-relevant figures like the Obamas and Prince Harry and his ever-aggrieved wife Meghan whatshername.
The New York publishing scene is part of the racket, as the big houses send tens of millions to the Clintons and the Obamas et al. for books that very few people will actually read but which many Upper West Siders and Nantucket types will place carefully on their coffee tables. Along with artfully arranged pressed flowers.
If it seems like a racket, that’s because it is: become a failed Democrat politician, rake in the millions. Although Harry and Meghan are not Dem pols, they’re wokesters of the worst type, and the obvious question arises: did they really deserve a $100 million payday for unspecified content that thus far has nosedived like a drunken pelican?
Barack and Michelle Obama have certainly cashed in, and they now own a 29-acre estate on Martha's Vineyard worth at least $12 million as well as a Hawaii hideaway that was a mere eight mil. (Why aren't they worried that climate change will wipe out their shoreline investments?)
I don’t begrudge folks for making money, but it sure does seem strange that a failed president—Joe Biden, considered by many to be the worst commander-in-chief in U.S. history—and his disastrous would-be successor who was so bad on the campaign trail that she became known as “Queen of the World Salads” appear to be poised to make serious bank off their blunders.
Seriously? Kamala Harris Delivers One Heck of a Word Salad to Broadway Cast—and People Are Asking Questions
As we reported, Biden recently signed with Hollywood talent agency Creative Artists Agency, and now Kamala is tagging along, too. (Joe and Kamala are creative artists? Didn’t know that. I thought that was only Hunter Biden.)
Is it just me, or is it weird that the serious people who were supposedly crafting crucial policy are joining up with an entertainment giant? Read this and decide for yourself if it doesn't seem like the latest rom-com that CAA “packaged”:
Variety first reported Harris' alleged partnership with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) on Tuesday. The outlet wrote that CAA will "work closely with Harris on her post-White House initiatives, creating strategic opportunities that expand her platform in support of the issues she has championed throughout decades-long career in public service."
Harris will join former President Joe Biden, whose CAA deal was announced just two weeks ago. Biden was also represented by the agency before entering the White House.
Announcing Biden's re-affiliation with the agency on Feb. 3, CAA co-chairman Richard Lovett called him one of "America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs."
CAA called Biden one of "America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs." This is the man who was booted out of his reelection campaign by Nancy Pelosi because he was one of the least “respected and influential voices” in national and international affairs—and pretty much everything else too.
Harris, meanwhile, is mostly considered a laughingstock by most people with brains, and yet she will probably get a lucrative book deal or Netflix agreement where she will produce little of value—just like the Obamas and the Harrys before her—yet will be paid princely (princessly?) sums.
The Hollywood/NY publisher grift machine funneling cash to progressive figures is one of the more insidious systems that we’re up against. They fail, they get paid, they get rich, they laugh at us.
Look for Gavin Newsom to sign up with CAA next and cash in on a cooking show or a teeth-whitening special, all the while extolling the virtues of the California experiment while ignoring the fact that he’s almost single-handedly destroyed the state.
“Creative artists,” indeed.
