Now the story: the Breck Girl said yesterday he worked for a hedge fund between presidential campaigns to learn more about financial markets and their relationship to poverty. He also admitted he wanted to make some money.<\/p>\n<p>So essentially they asked him, &#8216;What are you doing in a hedge fund?\u2019 (He\u2019s already in a little trouble here with his 28,000-square-foot mansion. That\u2019s a little hypocritical.) &#8216;What are you doing in a hedge fund?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I went to a hedge fund because I wanted to learn about poverty.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Wait a minute! I thought he was already an expert on poverty. He\u2019s already run a vice presidential campaign on that basis. But I tell you, it\u2019s given me an idea, folks. The learning never stops here at the EIB Network. What I\u2019m going to do is, since he went to a hedge fund to learn about poverty, I am going to work in a soup line for a week or two so that I can learn about the rich.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Did you hear about John Edwards?
