Good morning.
Just read today's Washington Post article about John McCain's campaign and all the money he's trying to raise and spend these days. McCain has busted the public campaign finance system's spending limit. That's a crime. Not a mention of his campaign finance scandal in the article today. Not a word about it. Yet, just a five weeks ago, the Post actually got the gravity of the scandal:
Knowingly violating the spending limit is a criminal offense that could put McCain at risk of stiff fines and up to five years in prison.You'd think that a major candidate breaking the law would be a constant new story -- especially when the law being broken is a campaign finance law and the candidate, John McCain, purports to be a champion of campaign finance. How can the traditional media be ignoring this story?
We're doing our part. Later today, we'll be posting video of the visit Rev. Yearwood and I paid to the FEC yesterday.
Have at it.
