Former politicians turn consumer hucksters

I used to admire republican Mike Huckabee until he started shilling for "Sleep-Aid" junk. I guess he needs the money but I don't see former democrat politicians doing the same thing.

Better than current politicians sucking corporate balls behind closed doors.

I cannot think of a better training in separating rubes from their hard-earned scratch than being a politician...

... even the least competent politician scams the public in ways that would embarrass P.T. Barnum.

To be fair, corporate balls tend to be more hygienic.

Former NBA star Shaq O'Neill is worth about 400 million and he sells us everything from cereal to insurance. Joe Namath sells insurance and Joe Montana peddles junk feel good cream. We accept the premise that former athletic supporters need to make a buck anyway they can but the problem is that we don't expect former politicians to use their gift of gab to sell us crap that does no good and makes them money.
