There is a joke here somewhere. Teresa Giudice who is awaiting her federal sentencing this month wandered into a fundraising event for a New Jersey politician. Sigh. This is was in my in box this morning but things just kept happening so now it is Thursday officially on the east coast and….. well I had no time to investigate.
I did read all the local news hounds comments at the paper who reported it. But still. Juicy is headed to the big house for sure, and quite frankly, Tre should be too. So how is she out, off the Bravo camera showing up at this guy’s campaign function?
I have a whole post coming on how another couple in a similar situation is handling things. Why is Tre out with a girlfriend at a political function? And why is she at the beach without the kids?
While Tre was on this family vacation down the shore she just happened to end up at a state senator’s fundraiser. Tre can’t even spell fundraiser. I don’t think this was an accident. I do think it will backfire for the Senator from New Jersey. Or not.
From www.nj.com:
State Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union) admits he’s not a big television fan. So when reality TV star Teresa Giudice unexpectedly showed up to a political fundraiser at his Shore home in Mantoloking last week, he wasn’t sure at first why she soon became the center of attention.
“I should have taken a selfie,” he told the Auditor. “Everyone was going gaga over her.”
Giudice, one of the stars of Real Housewives of New Jersey, who is scheduled to be sentenced in U.S. District Court later this month after pleading guilty with her husband to financial fraud, had come to the fundraiser with a friend and did not know Lesniak.
“I had to admit I’ve never seen the show, but a surprising number of my friends had,” said Lesniak.
And while she was not there to help him raise money, considering the stir she caused among his 60 guests, Lesniak said he will be sure to invite her to his next fundraiser.
How well did he do without her help?
“All my fundraisers are successful,” he said, without skipping a beat
um thoughts?
I’m very surprised by the Senator’s comments. I’m guessing that he must not know anything about their illegal activities? Then again, if he didn’t already know, you’d think that one of his friends must have quickly filled him in, right? Crazy.
maybe she had a mental break…. or she was trying to stay the center of attention. what ever the case she is insane, she needs to be behind bars and paying her debt to society. jersey is such a different place, i know there are crooked politicians and all everywhere it just seems like they have so many there. i would think she would be spending all her time with her kids and not wandering into other people’s parties.
Sometimes you just got to get away from your kids, no matter how much you love them. It’s good for them, it’s good for you.
Well they may be having a lot of time apart very soon.
I would have gone with a night out with the girls rather than prison. 🙂
She’ll be away from them soon as she’s sentenced this month.
At first I thought that it would be innappropriate for the Senator to comment on her fraud case….however, she plead guilty so it wouldn’t be considered a conflict of interests. Maybe since sentencing hasn’t occured yet that is why he didn’t comment on anything other than her popularity. I wonder if Tre’s ‘friend’ was her publicist/agent/lawyer? Any of whom probably knows that it helps if Tre starts to make some powerful friends. I’m probably reading too much into this.
Well, she if she’s looking for a pardon, she’s at the wrong fundraiser. She needs to find a nice corrupt Chris Christie fundraiser. But I guess you gotta start of small.
Oookaay. Nice attempt to obfuscate! “A nice corrupt Chris Christi fundraiser”, yet Christie (a Republican and NJ’s Governor; totally unrelated) was very thoroughly investigated by practically everyone and their brother, including unashamedly partisan Lib Prog Eric Holder’s crew, and yet no one evidently could produce meritous factual evidence of corruption. Soo saad.
Well thank goodness this isn’t a political blog since I don’t research the facts. I couldn’t care less.
Maybe I should have used Gov. Bob McDonnell as an example. At least he’s a convicted politician!
Re: Tasos826 comment — only two days ago news came out concerning eleven policemen who were directed to ‘stand down’ with respect to their urgent request to allow the two closed lanes on the George Washington Bridge to be reopened (fact); this matter is being looked into by the state legislative panel investigating the entire Christie sleaze mess (fact). Note that my verb “investigating” is present tense — the investigation is still ongoing and I imagine that it will be for probably an indeterminable period of time.
My guess is once he gets home and Google’s her, he will change his tune.
Senator Lesniak said he would be sure and invite a convicted felon, who stole millions of funds, to his next fundraiser! The irony is certainly not lost on me, and the good Senator looks like a boob!
Let’s face it. There have been waaay bigger crooks than Teresa at political fundraisers. She just happens to have a tv show. Maybe she showed up as a favor to the guy Lesniak is running against. I’d be surprised if she got into the fundraiser using her own money but what do I know.
Ditz1 and Ditz2!
Al Sharpto. Is a convicted felon. He is at a lot of fundraisers.
Love this comment! hahaha
That’s it. I am NOT voting for Lesniak or supporting this asshole who is “gaga” over a fucking felon.
Well, she can’t come to the next fundraiser if she goes to jail can she?Lol. Maybe he will put in a good word for her hubby as well. I don’t think it is inconceivable. I’m sure it happens all the time.
Aren’t they reportedly paying off all their debts? Maybe restitution is the caveat that will used to keep them both out of the big house.
Ah gee…. Go to jail already ….can’t believe she is able to do ANYTHING she is doing now … Free ….she must go to jail …and as far as pleading for her kids sake ….were you thinking about them when you broke the law ? To late … Anyone else would be in jail right now …the only time I can look at her is when I want to laugh because she looks like Sid the sloth on Ice Age ….
I wanted to assure a lavish lifestyle so I majored in history and philosophy. My children thought I should teach… highschool students, who think that ancient history starts with WWII. I just couldn’t …hats off to the great teachers I encountered. So I am going to give the senator ,benefit of the doubt ,and say ” Thank God he is unaware of RHONJ”. WTF! why would any sane person bring her into contact with this senator; unless they were taking bribes from the opposition? Sarah Palin gave me ulcers on her tour of America. Obama repeating over and over how his grandmother lived through two World Wars. Hank Johnson questioning the military “if moving the base might cause Guam to tip over and capsize.” This man is a saint for his lack of knowledge regarding Teresa. He might need to question his staff…..sabotage.
In my opinion, an honest politician is an oxymoron.
Totally my viewpoint.
Is it me has Teresa aged in looks a lot. Season one she was so cute in the face, but now fast forward to now it’s like damn she looks beat.
I don’t ever remember seeing her completely devoid of makeup before ….
How can this guy be that unaware? There are many, many people who know of her and her hubby’s deeds who have never watched this or any other of the housewives’ shows. He had better tighten up security if he wants to be taken seriously AND voted in!
I really hope my serious politicians are not aware of reality TV players and their BS…
I can’t get past that photo of tre. OMG
He thinks he had a real star at his fundraiser. Once he sees a few episodes and realizes who she is, he will be backpedaling really fast from that affiliation!
I wonder if Teresa asked him if he could help juicy joe if she voted for him?
