I figured I would do a post like Dr. Guy...but with a twist! I will include actual facts! Yes, I know it's a novel concept, but I figured what the hell.

Misery loves company. Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) joins Tom DeLay with investigations into illegal corporate contributions to her 2002 campaign committee:
Federal auditors said a campaign committee for U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., should return $81,320 in unlawful corporate contributions from her 2002 campaign. … A federal audit of the Dole North Carolina Victory Committee, a joint fund-raising effort between Dole and the North Carolina Republican Party that [Earl Allen] Haywood helped manage, determined that it had deposited 31 checks received from the general funds of corporations. Such donations are unlawful.
Like DeLay’s PAC, Dole’s committee is trying to point fingers and blame Haywood, who last year admitted to stealing money from the committee. But the FEC isn’t biting:
Regardless of Mr. Haywood’s reputation, in the opinion of the Audit Staff, the lack of basic internal controls (e.g. separation of duties) and oversight by DNCVC created an environment that contributed to the misappropriation of funds and the misreporting to the Commission.
The FEC also concluded that Dole’s group "bears the responsibility for the return of the prohibited contributions." Read the full report for more wrongdoings by the DNCVC.
