HIGH-CLASS MONEY LAUNDERING

An office manager at Hess Oil and her husband, a foreman at the local Amtrak station, donate $57,000 to McCain's campaign the day after he flip-flops on offshore drilling. Hmm. Seems kinda high for a pair of people who have never made a political donation in their lives and probably make about $40,000/yr each, no?

"Honey, now that we're 60, let's start making political contributions.

How about we mortgage the house to give McCain sixty grand?"

"That won't work, dear. We can't even afford a house. We rent this one, remember?"

  • My guess is that neither presidential candidate wants much oversight of their individual contributions.

    Go to fec.gov and look up individual contributions from the following brothers: Monir Edwan, Osama Edwan and Hosam Edwan. Over 31k from the Edwan's to Barack Obama. They apparently are from "RAFAH, GA." The only problem is that there is no such place. In fact, Rafah is located in the Gaza Strip.

  • You're correct, obviously, but the right seem to be missing this fine distinction. Apparently we're supposed to be apopleptic over Obama's foreign contributions AND pretend that every single dollar John McCain has ever received adheres to the full letter and spirit of the law.
