Pennsylvania Republicans are on fire with the white heat of self-righteousness (emphasis added).

For Bucks County Republicans and power brokers, the parties at Claire Risoldi’s extravagant mansion near New Hope were unforgettable affairs.

(snip)

Occasionally, guests would whisper about where Risoldi got her money, since her only known job was in her daughter’s law office. She often explained that she inherited a windfall from her late husband’s successful tile company.

State prosecutors provided their own theory last week: rampant insurance fraud. The Attorney General’s Office on Thursday charged Risoldi and several members of her family with bilking insurers out of $20 million after her mansion caught fire three times in five years.

Had she worked for a Wall Street Bank, she’d have gotten a bail out, not a bail bond.

Afterthought:

If my house caught fire three times in five years, I’d want a new house or, at least, an arson investigator and a private eye.

She, however, had a burning desire for her cause. She carried a torch for Republicans. Republicans flicked her Bic. She was a fan of the Bu-Tane Clan. Republicans lit up her life. She was on fire for the cause. She let her light so shine under the bullshit bushel. She glowed little glow-worm glimmered glimmered.

I’ll stop now, but you can continue. The opportunities are endless.
