Republicans Steal Money From Themselves

I’ve been watching the story of the NRCC’s financial fuck up unfold through the day. This artcile in CQ seems to have the most details so far…

As a result of bad accounting and fraud, the National Republican Congressional Committee appears to have ended 2006 with $990,000 less than its balance sheet showed, and ended 2007 with $740,000 less than officials knew.

It turns out that the NRCC Treasurer, Christopher J. Ward, is also the treasurer for a bunch of other Republicans and GOP-related PACs.

And these are the guys who run on a platform of fiscal responsibility?

What a joke.
