Extremely Fine

Extreme Mortman loves when politics gets extreme. Example: an extreme fine from a state ethics commission for extreme campaign finance violations.

So let’s salute Missouri Democrats.

Here’s the AP story, courtesy of the Springfield News-Leader:

“The Missouri Ethics Commission has fined the Missouri House Democratic Campaign Committee $104,000 for various campaign finance violations during the 2002 elections. The fine is among the largest ever levied by the commission.”

The story also reports that “U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan, a former state House member, also was fined $600 for signing checks for the committee that he wasn’t authorized to sign.”

Now that’s extreme. Bravo. The Show Me Democrats really have shown us something.
