Rasmussen’s Legendary “Luvvies”

As it turned out Señor Rasmussen wasn’t really joking about his castle. Since his polling firm was acquired by a joint venture of George Soros* and the Bilderberger Group, the retired pollster had managed to acquire quite the estate on Long Island.

It’s called Rassmassa Estate for some reason.

The event he had organized was by way of a lifetime thank you to the veteran corps of “Likely Voters” (nicknamed ‘LVs’ or more familiarly, ‘Luvvies’) who participated in constant presidential approval polls over a great many years. They had become a major component of his professional reputation, and now that he was passing them on to the new owners and no longer touched base with them himself anymore, the aging pollster wanted to say thanks and probably goodbye. In their honor he had also invited an old friend, Mike Pence, to do an official greeting and a folksy press-the-flesher for about 10 minutes. Not everyone recognized him. Some thought he was Clinton, some Romney, some Biden, and a few (not many) mistook him for George Peppard. 

Then the guests were free to wander the estate, mingle with one another. For some reason, mega-speakers were broadcasting a Rudee Vallee song throughout the extensive acreage.

Fortunately, not everyone could hear it.

Lively political discussions were breaking out everywhere, as you might expect.

A determined minority thought the reason they’d been invited was to respond to another poll.

The subject of recognition came up more than once.

So did food.

A group who clearly regarded themselves as the senior, ranking members of the LVs appropriated a lounge that reminded them of home and talked about current events.

Still another group split off from everyone else and abandoned the estate proper for the beach. Nobody seemed to miss them. And nobody knows for sure what they were so happy about.

And then it started getting dark and everyone had to go home and tucked in for the night.

 P.S. At least one person has dared to doubt the reality of the Rasmussen-Soros connection. Ironically, this appeared just today:
