T-Bone's Imaginary Presidential Campaign Runs Out Of "Other People's Money" - Granite Grok

T-Bone’s Imaginary Presidential Campaign Runs Out Of “Other People’s Money”

File under “You can’t make this stuff up.” In a statement uncharacteristically honest for a Democrat, Cory Booker suspended his (or was it T-Bone’s) imaginary Presidential campaign this morning with the statement that the campaign had quite literally run out of (other people’s) money – via WSJ:

At the award ceremony, Booker made no effort to hide his emotions during his two-hour acceptance speech. “I just wish there was some way to share this with all of you who took your hard-earned money and backed a candidate with no real chance of getting the nomination,” said a tearful Booker……
