Start at .21 and skip the gasbag entirely. Eleanor finishes her shakedown at 1.54.
Ignore their subtitles, They're trying to be amusing.

Well. There you go. Congresswoman, Delegate representing Washington D.C. , so non-voting, House of Representatives, still heading important committees. She brags how she spends stimulus money. And she is showing entitlement to other people's money by stating she affects their sector. It is so utterly natural.
Didn't listen to the gasbag all the way, he sounds like Hannity or perhaps antiHannity, but Eleanor's (we're on first name basis) wikipedia page has her curricula vitae, and on balance it is not so hard to see how that total experience would blend Government with Party so fully as to be inseparable.
Apparently this is what is great about America, that you can insinuate yourself into its government and use Party to wrench government and business and individuals to do your bidding even as your vote doesn't count.
