Kucinich busted by FEC
Y'all know that I don't much like The Kooch, but I really have to feel sorry for the guy. He's got to come up with $137K to reimburse the Feds for money he wasn't supposed to spend, because his campaign had already failed when he spent it. Now, granted, since he was spending stolen money to begin with, there's a limit to my sympathy. But it's been over two years since that election, and the FEC have only finished audits of TWO other candidates (minor ones at that). It seems to me almost impossible for a campaign to keep up with the arcana of Federal election law...which makes me wonder if the real intent of the law was to keep campaigns clean, or to discourage campaigns. I suspect the latter, since they started at the bottom of the list (Lieberman and Nader) instead of with Kerry.
