More Woes For Frist

by TChris

Raw Story reports that the FEC has fined Sen. Frist's 2000 Senate campaign committee, Frist 2000, Inc., for failing to disclose a $1.44 million loan. The loan was needed to cover stock market losses. The fine came in response to a complaint filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

Melanie Sloan, CREW's executive director, said "it is gratifying to see that the FEC recognizes that Senator Frist's campaign committee broke the law. Apparently, the FEC disagreed with Sen. Frist's aide's dismissal of the complaint as 'incorrect' and 'politically driven.'"

    Frist really didn't have the time to deal with such matters. He has been too busy trying to add discrimination to the Constitution.

    He should be able to pay off the fines by bringing persistent vegetables back to consciousness and selling the vital produce to Iraqis who promise not to burn our flag.
