Hooray, is the Internet pooping out more documents filled with juicy details about Sarah Palin’s pointless and yet self-serving political projects? Why yes! Palin’s latest SarahPAC filings with the FEC are a Political Topic today, because everyone’s favorite grifter quitter queen spent $14,000 just for the goofball decals on her “Road Accident Death Tour of [...]

Newt Gingrich’s people wanted everyone to know yesterday that he was definitely about to announce he’s running for president, for realz this time. But then they looked into the paperwork to file an exploratory committee and realized it’s going to be hard to figure out exactly how many money-making schemes he has going these days [...]

Christine O’Donnell’s lawyer has told the FEC that she will be going through O’Donnell’s campaign spending records to “fix” things. So the FBI really doesn’t even need to investigate her, because all of the money spent on her daily stock of Lean Cuisines will suddenly be moved under some innocuous-sounding part of the records. Everything [...]

The Republican National Committee has quietly disclosed more than $4 million in previously unreported debt in amended filings with the Federal Election Commission, meaning yet another headache for embattled party chairman Michael Steele. JEEZ. THEY DID THEIR DUTY BY HAVING A BLACK GUY. NOW LET THEM HAVE SOME MONEY, PLEASE. [ABC News]

The Federal Election Commission is investigating a complaint that Rep. Charles Rangel improperly used his National Leadership PAC to fund his legal defense on ethics charges for which he was censured Thursday, The Post has learned. THIS is how you double down. Charlie Rangel is fun. “In all fairness, I was not found guilty of [...]

But apparently this is a problem for people who actually work for Michele Bachmann too. When they submitted the Federal Election Commission paperwork for her awesome new Michele PAC [...]

RNC Treasurer Randy Pullen dropped a line to members of the party’s budget committee yesterday just to let them know Michael Steele has hidden about $7 million in debt from him lately. This made the RNC’s “war chest” (boobs) look bigger than usual, so this was a job well done by Mike. However, that is [...]

The Federal Election Commission has ordered Joe Biden’s 2008 presidential campaign (ha!) to pay $219,000 back to the government after finding good ol’ Joe made some record-keeping errors, used someone’s charter plane without paying as much as he should have for it, and somehow raised too much money from some people. Yes, the campaign that [...]

Apparently Arkansas Senate candidate Kim Hendren is unaware that the Federal Election Commission has strict rules about slave auctions (candidates may sell no more than four and three-fifths slaves per month). Luckily there are many sneaky euphemisms for that kind of thing in Arkansas! [The Hill]

Barack Obama raised $150,000,000 (pronounced “eleventy billion dollars”) in September from ACORN, William Ayers, radical leftists with an extreme pro-abortion agenda, and a smattering of overseas hooligans. In fact, over 3.1 million radical leftist traitors have now contributed to Obama’s campaign! Now that the Democratic candidate is flush with cash he can advertise whenever he [...]
