…By The Company He Keeps
I know nothing about shipbuilding. And I know next to nothing about Congressman Ronny Jackson (R TX-13), other than his pill passing penchant on Air Force One, and his appetite for dog penis (see below).
Aesop
But I do know Aesop.
Aesop, famous for his fables, once said, “A man is known by the company he keeps.” I believe that this is a time-tested maxim and haved lived by its evidential truth.
So how in the H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks does Austal USA LLC, an Australian shipbuilding company that has just pleaded guilty to fraud and obstruction in a federal defense deal, know about “The Candyman” to the extent that they sent him $2500 in American money?
I don’t really need any answers. Just the question will suffice.
[Hat tip to Alfredo at the Dairy Queen]
No answers from me, but let me add another question: Will Dr. Feelgood return that $2500, possibly along with a fake disclaimer that he had no idea it was a scummy organization?
1The candyman just keeps poppin up in nefarious places.
2I’ll ask the same question about ronnie as I did above about fled cruz- exactly what does he do for TX?
I assume he’ll get re-elected though.
It is an American company, with a shipyard in Alabama. It knows Congress because it built some of the ridiculous Littoral Combat Ships that the Navy is throwing away.
Blame Dan Inouye, who foisted SWATH hull tecnology on a reluctant Navy.
