Pay For Play: Harold Hamm.

[Sallow]

Well this is fun. Harold Hamm, "the truck driver", was named energy advisor to the Romney campaign. Curiously enough he donated nearly a million dollars to a Romney Super Pac.

I wonder which other obscenely wealthy dude is going to pony up for a position in the government.

WASHINGTON — Oklahoma oil billionaire Harold Hamm didn't wait long to make a nearly $1 million donation to a group supporting Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney after he became one of Romney's top energy advisers in March. Just weeks after Hamm joined the Romney campaign, he gave $985,000 to a pro-Romney super PAC, according to campaign reports.


Hamm's company, Continental Resources Inc., oversees oilfield stakes in North Dakota and Montana, and Hamm has been disdainful of President Barack Obama's energy policies. On his personal website, Hamm complained that Obama and his administration "have done everything in their power to stop fossil fuel usage."

Hamm, whose company did not return telephone calls from The Associated Press, is among a group of energy tycoons who have made lucrative donations to Restore Our Future, a super PAC supporting Romney. Unlike the others, Hamm has matched his contributions with his role personally advising Romney on energy policy — blurring the line between the campaign and the super PACs that support them but are legally barred from coordinating with candidates.

When are we going to figure out that rich douche bags are buying our politicians? Maybe we've figured it out and don't care...
