John Ashcroft Fined forViolating Campaign Finance Laws in an Election he Lost to a Dead Guy:

WASHINGTON – Attorney General John Ashcroft ‘s 2000 Senate campaign and his political action committee have agreed to pay a $37,000 civil fine for campaign finance violations.

The Federal Election Commission on Tuesday disclosed the agreement it reached with Ashcroft 2000 and the Spirit of America PAC. The campaign and PAC denied any wrongdoing. The agreement left it to them to work out how to divide the fine between them.

At issue was the Senate campaign’s use of a mailing list developed by Ashcroft’s PAC.

The commission concluded Ashcroft 2000 received about $110,000 in list-related income, resulting in an excessive contribution to it by the political action committee. PACs are allowed to give up to $5,000 per election to a federal candidate.

The FEC said the campaign and PAC also failed to disclose the contribution.

Ashcroft, a Republican, was running for re-election to his Missouri Senate seat, challenged by former Democratic Gov. Mel Carnahan . Carnahan died in a plane crash during the campaign, but his name remained on the ballot and voters elected him. His wife, Jean Carnahan, was then appointed to the seat.

President Bush later named Ashcroft attorney general. Ashcroft oversees the Justice Department (news – web sites), which shares responsibility with the FEC for enforcing campaign finance laws.

Am I the only one who sees how fucked up this guys appointment is? I mean other than Mark Kernes, I KNOW he sees it.

Dirty Bob Writes:

I just figured out why it took Bill Lyons so long to make a written public comment about his departure from FSC. Do you have any idea of how hard it is to type such a huge, lengthy statement (without making it sound like a diatribe) with one hand? I am assuming that he only used one hand; the other must have been very busy patting himself on the back the entire time…

OK Now that IS Funny. I am surprised I am the only site with the statement from Mr. Lyon.
