Republican Leader of Congress in corruption charges

Just because the donors wanted it to go someplace doesn't necessarily mean that it's legal.
Some donors donate money to make candidates vote the way they want.
This is why I've advocated spending limits for political campaigns.

They have had spending limits since the "Dawn of time".

The recent changes in that regard, limits on soft money pushed it from the parties who are accountable to 527 who are not. - groups like move-on and the swiftboats vets.

Things are now worse.

That would be a good term, if it was laundered into someones personal account.

But it was all spent electing republican candidates, and it went to were the doners wanted.

and the fact it was illegal is presumably irrelevant

Stop pretending its no big deal. If this were a democract you'd be all over them like a bad rash. Come on, apply some good old fashioned Christian morality to this, instead of making excuses.

This guy's got Scooter's number.

"But, in fact, Libby is more than Cheney's top aide. Indeed, a closer examination indicates that Libby may be more powerful than Rove. His ability to remain largely unknown has been a key to his efficacy. Let's take a closer look."

look he does;

"Cheney has put Libby in the position, in effect, of being the head of his shadow government's National Security Council. As such, Lewis Libby has exercised a degree of influence and control in the United States government, particularly in foreign policy, that is in absolute contradiction to what the Constitution intends."

And ends with classic Rove.

"This is consistent to what Wilson wrote on page 444 of his book: "... when Rove learned that he might have violated the law, he turned on Cheney and Libby and made it clear he held them responsible for the problem they created for the administration.""
