Anyone have an idea who brought/bought Mary Harney to the Superbowl. Starting prices for tickets this year were 7K US, and I very much doubt she was sitting in the nosebleed section. Would say her ticket could of been worth 40K? Who knows.
This is what I'm wondering, like. It's pretty not-entirely-legal for a government official to take such 'gifts' from a private company, innit? I mean, if it was the State of Arizona, that would be one thing, and I'm not sure it would bug me if it was an 'official' gift, it's just that when it comes to the Super Bowl, I don't think ANY state government has enough pull to get a ticket. Only a major corporation would have the clout.
But I'm slightly less worried about how she got to the Super Bowl and significantly more concerned about whom she met with in the US, apart from the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins University Hospital, and what exactly those meetings were about. Sorry to employ another crappy metaphor so soon after my last one, but taking advice on health care from the US is like asking Bertie for advice on buying his girlfriend's aunties a house using....oh, wait. Confused now.
