WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry (news - web sites) wrote 28 letters on behalf of a California defense contractor, who pleaded guilty last week to illegally giving money to the Massachusetts senator, The Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday.

Parthasarathi Majumber, owner of Science and Applied Technology in San Diego, also pleaded guilty to giving money to four Republican members of the House of Representatives.

"Members of Congress often write letters supporting constituent businesses and favored projects. But as the Democratic presidential front-runner, Kerry has promoted himself as a candidate who has never been beholden to campaign contributors and special interests," the newspaper said.

But your supposition is not necessarily true, either.

I didn't make a supposition. I made a joke.

"Parthasarathi Majumber"

Is that a name, or an attempt to use all the letters of the alphabet?
