Republican state Representative Pat Garofolo on the House floor Thursday asked his colleagues to stop tweeting and sending him e-mails about how they love or hate a book entitled, “The Billionaire Boondoggle: How Our Politicians Let Corporations and Bigwigs Steal Our Money and Jobs” –written by an author with the same name. Garofalo quipped, “The most interesting thing about it is there’s a pair of craps dice on the cover of the book, which tells me I might like it, but it’s not me, it’s the other Pat Garofalo.”
The other Pat Garofalo, a former editorial manager for U-S News and World Report, works at the Center for American Progress, a Washington-DC-based think tank.
