BULLETIN: Alfonse D'Amato tapped as Chairman of the PPA

[daedalus]

Finally boys we are on OFFENSE for a change...

1) A Gorilla of a insider and media mogul (D'amato) to work Congress and the media.

2) An aggressive stance from Full Tilt and the PPA.

I could give a hoot if PPA showed me their financial statements now, give me a gorilla lobbyist and I could care less about the accounting.

anything is better than the status quo of losing a poker site every 2 weeks. Are we really quibbling over mission statements when we can play a little dirty politics of our own.

ok..ok...I'll read the PPA mission statement sniper. you called my bluff on that one. tx for all the hard work on the tracking thread that's great work.

From Jeter just now via PM:

"Imagine all the good you could have done in this world or for the poker cause in the TIME YOU HAVE SPENT POSTING YOUR 9,000 POSTS. PATHETIC."

agreed. Seriously...600 posts a month? That's funny.

600 a month...I'm on pace...is that bad?

and IMHO, I like the idea of a known politician lobbying for our interests.

Would have rather had Hillary, but will settle for Big Al

Hillary is a sitting Senator not a lobbyist. D'Amato is a lobbyist (former Senator) who is effective and has friends and contacts in both parties.

Does Bill Clinton play poker?

[mikeroddick]

Bill Clinton would make an awesome lobbyist for our cause.

Can the PPA contact him?

[daedalus]

So PPA prez leaks this almost done deal but 2 days later we don't have a deal. so the purpose of the leak appears not to be to scoop but to influence the negotiations? What's going on here? Troubling that this hasn't hit mainstream press.

[mikeroddick]

So what's the deal? Big Al D ain't gonna be the lobbyist for us???

It was all a ton of horse maneure?
