1. Do they even consider how that crap sounds to the average working person?
I sure wish I had 8 million in "chump change".

Hell at the current time I'd be happy with $100 of "chump change"...

2. I could use some "Chump Change" if it comes to $8 mil
I wounder how much money they being paid at CNN? Do you think the person running the TelePrompter will see 8 million dollars in his/her lifetime?

They need to be careful as to what they say or it will piss off the staff.

3. It doesn't matter if it is chump change or not
It is clear conflict of interest, and to take that money from the National Enquirer (yup, it's them) is unconscionable. He actually lobbied to protect the supplement industry, while accepting money from that same industry, directly into his pocket. It's criminal and I hope he is prosecuted.

4. Dicks. Didn't he spend about that much during the "election"?
Did the supplements industry just admit to underwriting his campaign?
