Below are two photographs that appeared in the August 8, 2004 edition of the New York Times, in a story headlined "The Democrats' A.T.M." The story was about a fundraiser in the Hamptons held to benefit Tom Daschle.
The first photo shows the mansion of Gail Furman, where the Hamptons fundraiser was held, as well as some of the guests at the fundraiser crowded around the patio. The caption reads:
FAR FROM SOUTH DAKOTA On a Sag Harbor lawn, Senator Tom Daschle took in more than $100,000. Senator John Corzine of New Jersey and Wesley Clark of Arkansas were also on hand.
Far, indeed, from South Dakota.
Here's a photo of Tom Daschle seated in the crowd at the Hamptons fundraiser, listening to a speech by Wesley Clark. This photo is captioned:
The Island is a piggy bank for national Democrats. Wesley Clark of Arkansas with Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota, left, in Sag Harbor.
Once again, one can readily observe the two Tom Daschles: when he's on the East Coast, he's a liberal, but when in South Dakota he purports to be President Bush's biggest supporter. The Thune campaign is now emphasizing that Daschle duality by introducing a game called "Dueling Daschles" which you can play by clicking HERE.
Tomorrow's edition of Newsday has a piece on the wealth of the Hamptons going into Democratic coffers headlined "East End's wealth a magnet for Kerry."
