Obama donor, Obama, and Obama aide (UK Mail photo) |
The young man on the right is not Napoleon Dynamite, by the way. He's actually the son of an Obama contributor and he currently works in the State Department as a teenage Policy Advisor, but maybe not for much longer, depending on how the latest Washington sex-and-politics scandal develops.
Dach posted this photo on Instagram |
I see he uses his big boy name of Jonathan on his business card, but he goes by the more age-appropriate "Jonny" in the State Department phone book, and by "darkwingdach" on his Tumblr account, which is called, I kid you not, Let's Get Dangerous.
Dangerous? Have you ever seen a less dangerous-looking individual? I hope the prostitutes in Cartagena have a Kid’s Menu of reduced rates, because that boy should not have been charged full price.
The WaPo explains how Dach-Darkwing-Danger-Dynamite got his job:
Dach’s father, Leslie Dach, is a prominent Democratic donor who gave $23,900 to the party in 2008 to help elect Obama. In his previous job as a top lobbyist for Wal-Mart, he partnered with the White House on high-profile projects, including Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move!” campaign.
I've discovered that Dach did some work for Michelle's youth fitness campaign himself, as you can see here.
Don't feel sorry for him. His father can always find him a job at Wal-Mart if the Washington thing doesn't work out.

TSB: Out of courtesy to our favorite performance artist I was waiting for James to comment. This is a great post but this kid is no Groucho Marx. But maybe if you re-do that dance scene in a Cartagena night club with a girl named Lydia and paint on a moustache? James, we need some help here! gwb
$23,900.00 for that photograph.I don't know GWB, with that pic and that business card, I don't think I can improve on that.
Speaking of business cards, I don't know if you two are aware of this classic:

James: That's a good Turkish name! It could have been the name of a James Bond character (in the novels, not so much the movies).
Thanks James for that truly inspiring historical perspective! As everyone likes to say in these ever darkening times..We need leadership! gwb
