The new Speaker of Connecticut’s House of Representatives, Chris Donovan, has hired as a senior advisor, at a salary of $120,000-per-year, the outgoing Speaker of the House, Jim Amann, who has thrown his hat into the gubernatorial ring. This has upset some pro-Donovan commentators.
One recalls the scene in “Sienfeld” in which Seinfeld’s buddy George, who finally gets a decent job, has sex with a cleaning lady on his desk. He is found out and called on the carpet by his new boss, who promptly fires him, eliciting the following response: “Was that wrong?”
"I am not a rich guy," Amann said. "I need to work to keep a roof over my head and take care of my wife."
Perhaps so, but the hiring puts a damper on Amann’s gubernatorial run and raises the interesting question: Is the run a cover for the job? How serious is Amann’s gubernatorial bid?

Seriously unserious. However, I'm not sure why he gave up the Speaker's post. His end-game eludes me.
The Connecticut "Republicans" can't even get patronage right.
Good thing there's this huge surplus for them to spend, eh?
