"a) Calling Allen late in the evenings and demanding "phone sex;"

b) Demanding that Allen answer his calls or face termination;

c) Demanding that Allen attend fundraisers and "tease c-ck" to bring in more donations from the male members of the public;

d) Demanding that Allen engage in sexual conduct with another woman for his enjoyment."

Starting in June, Barack Obama’s website stopped asking for donations. Instead, it began asking for citizens who would “declare their independence from a broken system by supporting the first presidential election truly funded by the people.”

Perhaps the campaign did not expect that among those “declaring their independence would be donors named “Doodad Pro,” “Derty Poiiuy,” and “Jgtj Jfggjjfgj.” (And you thought Barack Obama had a funny name.) They may not have known that at least four Missourians and one Virginian would declare their independence involuntarily and later find fraudulent donations to Obama’s campaign on their credit card statements. The Obama campaign cannot claim ignorance of “Good Will,” whose address is the Goodwill headquarters in Austin, and whose occupation is “Loving You.” The Goodwill office received a letter from Obama last month indicating that Mr. Will had exceeded the legal limit with his $7,000 in contributions, and asking whether part of the money could be directed to Obama’s general election campaign...

Washington Post reporter Matthew Mosk, who I've criticized several times before on this blog, has found a doozy of a story about the Obama campaign.

I wonder if they'll actually publish anything about it or just give it the cursory acknowledgement on their website.

Apparently Mary Biskup's credit card was charged $175,000 from the Obama campaign. She said she never donated anything. (And yes, she must have awfully good credit.)

The campaign caught the error and refunded the money. Mosk published a quote from an Obama spokesman commending themselves for doing so and making sure everyone knows "no organization is protected credit card fraud."

This seems to me like a heck of a story. $175,000 is nothing to joke about. It's not like this woman lost a dollar in a pop machine.

There's no doubt this story should be on A1 tomorrow.

Something tells me the Washington Post isn't going to move this story off their blog page though. I really hope I'm proven wrong. I'll update then.

UPDATE 10/23: Well, I wasn't proven wrong.

The Washington Post makes NO MENTION of the $175,000 erroneously charged to a woman's credit card by the Obama campaign in their print edition today.

There is, however, an A1 feature on John McCain that opens with tales about Keating Five, a news story titled "McCain Tries to Push Past Palin Backlash," a news story about why "Democrats Have Reason to Celebrate." In the Style section there is a lengthy piece critical of Sarah Palin's wardrobe budget and an uber flatting feature on Joe Biden's wife.
