Chapter 693 Fooling the Emperor
When Mark saw this guy take the bait, he was secretly happy in his heart, let you be like a ghost, and you also want to drink Lao Tzu's footwashing water, like Martin, he threw out a bait that the other party couldn't refuse.
Mark said: "But you are right about one thing just now, it is difficult for the security department to produce a president, because the people are worried that it will be spy politics, to be president, you should learn from the Olympic view of the sea, teach at the university, serve at the bottom of the community, serve in the Senate, clean up your name, and are not afraid of anyone's attack and denigration. ”
Jerry agrees with this, sighing, "I don't want people to attack unless I don't do anything." ”
Mark said: "It's time for you to turn from turbidity to purity, to cultivate self-cultivation, a glamorous reputation, very important to you." ”
"You want me to resign?" Jerry is a person who does a line of resentment, he complains that it is not easy to mix, but for this position, he is quite satisfied, he can't go in love, he really doesn't have the courage to resign, Donald promised to give him a million pocket flowers a month, he refuses to leave, power is the strongest aphrodisiac.
Jerry sighed, "Then you have to wait until there is a place to stay, what good way do you have?" ”
Mark said: "I suggest that you run for the Senate, first find a place to settle in Congress, and it just so happens that Pennsylvania Senator Brown hangs B, and you can replace him." ”
Members of the Senate of the United States of America are elected by the state legislatures of each state, each of which elects two senators for a six-year term, with one vote for each senator.
The term of office of the first group of senators shall expire at the end of the second year, the term of office of the second group of senators shall end at the end of the fourth year, and the term of office of the third group of senators shall end at the end of the sixth year, so that one-third of the total number of senators may be re-elected every two years;
In Congress, there are many committees in the Senate, and senators exercise their powers among the members, but most of them supervise deliberations and will not directly participate in the work.
In other words, only those who have close ties with all aspects of the states and eat both black and white can become senators.
If Mark asked him to resign outright, he would definitely not, but if he was asked to do an errand in Congress, he would definitely agree.
When you enter and leave the Diet and build your reputation and connections, you can also reap the benefits, and now you are called to the Congress at every turn, and you will be questioned and questioned by various committees, and the budget of each quarter will not be passed without letting these damn messes fall once.
And he offended a lot of people, and he was sprayed like a target, and he was scolded when he almost went to the Senate, especially these damn senators, all of them were mouth cannons, they were all guys who had not achieved enough and had more than enough failures, according to the Constitution, everyone has the right to speak, and they don't stop, and others are not allowed to stop.
The 100th person in the Senate, even if there is a vice president in charge, but one person is talking nonsense on the stage, and others can only bear it? A person who becomes a senator has status, status, and power, but the first thing to have is to be thick-skinned, to be a senate microba, to waste everyone's time, and to prevent people from working? This is a bad tradition that people cannot bear and have to endure, and even if the president comes, he must be angry with them.
You can ask to speak, talk nonsense, talk about the weather, recite poetry, dream, and really have nothing to say, take a Washington phone book, read it one by one for hours, drink saliva when you are tired, tear open your throat, and sing triumphantly, it is difficult to get things done, and it is easy to get bad people and good things happen.
Humorist O'Rourke said that the separation of powers is actually money, television and nonsense. The third item is talking about this kind of Senate footwrap? A person talks boringly and endlessly on stage, like a smelly and long footwrap, does he hate it?
So Mark suggested that Jerry go to the Senate, and he almost immediately agreed, asking, "Are you sure you have a way?"
Mark said: "Of course, we can't even get a senator's position, we don't have to think about the White House, Jerry, it's time to make a decision." ”
Senators and the Minister of Homeland Security have equal status, but the latter is a cabinet member with real power in hand, while the former is nested in Capitol Hill, with not much real power, but can just put their mouths out, bad people and good things, but Congress is also afraid that these people will be idle and cause more trouble, so they set up various committees to review the government's bills and proposals, but the pits of oil and water and power are occupied, and even Ao Guanhai is only mixed with the chairman of the environmental protection committee, fortunately now he has made a lot of money, and he doesn't care about oil and water.
Jerry said, "I think I'm going to be at home on Capitol Hill." "Capitol Hill is also Vanity Fair, everyone is squeezing their lives to put on a show, elevating themselves, suppressing others, forming gangs, and taking benefits, Jerry's background in the media family attracts these politicians like stinky meat and flies, and there are many people who want to get on the two lines of MM and Time Warner through him.
The victory of Ao Guanhai supported by MM makes people see that the power of MM is not limited to making a star popular in Hollywood, their influence has extended beyond the entertainment industry and to the periphery, and they also have the ability to make stars here.
The main reasons for this Oguanhai's victory are that the incumbent president is not re-elected and the vice president is not running. At the same time, the eight years of the Bush administration were summed up by the majority of the American people as "putting the country on the wrong path", which affected the Republican McCain.
The second is a good image, smart, young, energetic, energetic, appealing, more close to the people, good at listening, not to mention that the life experience is legendary, the embodiment of the "rice dream".
Third, the timing and strategy of the campaign were grasped properly, and the running partners were chosen, not so much the opponent was McCain, but Hillary, the two fought inextricably during the party campaign, *** is a political star, malleable, and Hillary has been famous for a long time, and the people who support and oppose her are clearly distinguished. Using change as a campaign slogan to give hope to voters, while choosing Biden as his deputy not only makes up for the lack of diplomatic experience, but also calms the concerns of many white voters.
Another reason is that it reflects the evolution of the American society itself, where gender, color, and race are no longer the main social and psychological barriers, which is a historic advance for the majority of voters and for the country itself.
The election of Ao Guanhai itself is a milestone, and the country has changed a lot over the years, especially after 1990. From the perspective of its demographics, the population is growing, and the demographic structure is also changing, especially the increase of some Hispanics, the decrease of European and African Americans, and the minority will make up the majority, more than 50%. In some southwestern states, those places may be more pronounced. There are some places where you can't speak Spanish if you can't go, and some people will wonder if they are still in the United States.
Oguanhai's own election reflects this situation. The significance of Okuguanhai's own election may exceed the significance of Kennedy's election, Kennedy is like a milestone, and in a few years, Okuguanhai's good work will also become a milestone. O's election reflects the changes in the society of the United States, at all levels, races, and the structure of the population.
So that the overall thinking of the people of the United States, what the mainstream is will become more and more blurred. In the past, it was said that the mainstream was white and Protestant, but will this concept become weaker and weaker in the future, because the population has changed, so the United States is also in the process of continuous evolution.
Of course, Mark told Jerry: " Ao Guanhai was elected, first, MM, we spent 100 million, so that he is redder than David (Lee) and Robert Jr.; second, he is black, when the people despair of the white government under the leadership of Bush, he appeared, for the people of the United States, they would rather believe him, than believe in the government led by Bush, he put forward a series of proposals to deal with the Wall Street storm, for the people to eat a reassuring pill, denounce Bush, for the people to relieve their hatred, if he is president, is the first black president of the United States, people are very fresh, the people like fresh and legendary things. ”
Jerry said, "Yes." ”
Mark said: "Speaking of fresh legends, you have a huge advantage that you haven't taken advantage of, as a secret front worker, this is a very mysterious and legendary thing in itself, people are interested in this, I have contacted the screenwriters of "Spy" Robert Rudrum and Thor Gilroy, and are ready to adapt it into a spy blockbuster based on your deeds, and if the market responds well, we will make a series, like "Spy" or "Professional Secret Service" They'll reach out to interview you in the near future to gather some material, Jerry, that's the best way to get the word out. ”
Jerry smiled from ear to ear and said, "Agent blockbuster?" ”
This is tantamount to a god-making movement, after these spy blockbusters, he will be another Bourne or Ethan, becoming a legend, and it is difficult to think of being famous.
But he hasn't gone crazy enough to float up, he's not a super agent like James Bond, nor is he a tragic hero like Bourne and Ethan, and he doesn't want to be it, and he has a bunch of bad things, some things have been exposed, which is quite inappropriate.
Mark said: "Although this is an adaptation of a real person, there is still appropriate artistic processing, the two screenwriters are experts, they know how to choose, how to carry out artistic processing, there will be no problem, but what I want to tell you is that although it is adapted from your real story, in order to save costs, we will not pay you the copyright fee, you don't sue us!"
