Advice to Politicians on the Temptations of a Vacation.

How Would You Explain This?

I know it’s tempting. It’s a big boat. The kind you are never going to own yourself. There’s a staff that will serve you food and alcohol. This is the life. But it’s trouble. Big trouble. Do not accept an invitation to take a cruise on a yacht like Donnie Brasco’s. It’s the 21st century. Everyone has a camera. A photo of you on a boat you shouldn’t be on can end up in the cold clutches of federal law enforcement officials. It’s happened. Daily Ructions has it on good authority.

Imagine trying to explain the circumstances around your presence on that yacht when FBI agents come rap-tap-tapping at your door early one morning. Nix the yacht. Go to a public beach and have a picnic with your family. Keep your nose clean, or you may have trouble rising through the ranks. Understand?
