O’Donnell admits using campaign cash to pay rent


Christine O'Donnell, the Republican candidate for Senate from Delaware, has admitted to using campaign funds to pay part of the rent on her townhouse, potentially a violation of campaign finance laws. The Associated Press reports:

acknowledges using campaign money to pay part of the rent on her current town house. Her attorney maintains someone with the Federal Election Commission approved the arrangement, although the commission's rules say candidates can't use campaign money for their mortgage or rent "even if part of the residence is being used by the campaign.

"Last month, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington declared that O'Donnell is "clearly a criminal" for allegedly using $20,000 of campaign money for personal expenses.

2. Exactly, because they're a bunch of stupid spoiled assholes.

They think it's great that O'Donnell gamed/used the system this way, because she's a fucking Xian R, just like them. At the same time, they make up stories about poor people gaming the system - that's bad to a tea bagger.

It's not just the hypocrisy. It's the stupidity. Stupid people are easy to manipulate and even easier to get riled up, and tea baggers are nothing if they aren't a bunch of knuckle-dragging stupid people.
