| Steele's Campaign Spending Questioned |
| 2009-02-07 |
| Michael S. Steele, the newly elected chairman of the Republican National Committee, arranged for his 2006 Senate campaign to pay a defunct company run by his sister for services that were never performed, his finance chairman from that campaign has told federal prosecutors. Ahhhh, but - Fabian offered the information last March as he was seeking leniency for himself during plea negotiations on unrelated fraud charges. It is unclear how extensively his claims have been pursued. Prosecutors gave him no credit for cooperation when he was sentenced in October. Steele spokesman Curt Anderson said he did not know what information the federal agents were seeking, but he dismissed Fabian's allegations as patently false. "It's from, what, a convicted felon?" Front-Page QaPo stuff, this is. Oh look, I misspelled WaPo. Freudian slip? |

| #3 Ok, less than completely corrupt with a marginal care for the voters politician. Happy? No... I'm not either. But we gotta do the best with what we have. |

| #1 They will try to smear all good Republicans when they can. Keep their kind, ala McCain around for when they need "Republican" votes to push a bill through. |
