Looks like Her Highness is getting her fingers dirty yet again. Go figure. From Hot Air:
This one’s not connected to Runaround Hsu, at least that we know of.
Officials of a defunct pro-Democratic group that was hit with a near-record campaign-finance fine last month hold strong ties to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign, documents show.
At least four persons who worked for the America Coming Together (ACT) fundraising group, which the Federal Election Commission recently fined $775,000, work directly for the Clinton campaign or hold top positions with consulting firms hired by it.
In addition, the group’s former president, longtime Clinton aide Harold Ickes, has been identified as a volunteer adviser to the Clinton campaign. In FEC filings, the campaign listed a debt to Mr. Ickes of more than $2,000 for travel-related costs.ACT was the big union group that George Soros donated $10 million to toward defeating President Bush in 2004. Hillary cannot plausibly claim to not know that ACT was both connected to Soros and that it was the third most heavily fined election law violator in US history. And she hired much of its top tier to help run her campaign.
ACT is disbanding, but that really doesn’t matter since much of its leadership is now ensconced in the Clinton campaign. And I’m sure Soros will come up with some new cleverly acronymed group through which he can pour money next time around.
Nothing to see here, move along…
Runaround Hsu!!! Gotta love that one!

Well, she cannot possibly check all the campaign people she has working for her. A few bad apples are bound to slip through. Or a bushel. Or maybe even an entire harvest, but hey she didn’t know anything about this I am sure.

I’am Curious, Why Are So Many Different Writers And So Called Editors Trying To Find Dirt On Senator Clinton,I Think There Are About 20 Or So Canidates,So I Wonder Why Are You So Interested In Only Hilliary Clinton,Could It Be Because She Has The Rep Afraid Of Her Being The Democratic Nominee.Don’t You Idiots Have Anything Else To Do Like Maybe Impeach Mr Bush Or Maybe Even Mr Cheyney,Or Better Yet Investigate This Administration Dealings,Just Like A Rethuglican Trying To Direct The Attention From All Your Failures And Violation Of The Law

Damn, Cap…that was just painful trying to read that crap you slammed together! Here are a few tips:
1. The ENTER key is your friend.
2. Spaces and periods are your friends.
3. Finally deciphering that pap you wrote has led me to the conclusion that meds are definitely your friends!

I think Cap has cut his anchor rope to reality.
Just because there is smoke (and lots of it) doesn’t mean there is any fire nearby.
Those of us from west tennessee remember all the scandals of the governor’s office of arkansas and were not at all surprised that the same thing happened when they moved to the white house. Nor will we be surprised if they happen again if the Clinton’s get back to the white house.
Hey, if the Clinton’s get back to the white house will they bring back all the “souveniers” they ripped off the walls when they left?
Whaddya think Cap?
