......To get in, Tonken said, he wrote a check for a $50,000 donation. Tonken didn't have the cash, so he stopped the check right after lunch, he said. A Democratic fundraiser phoned a few times to collect, then gave up, Tonken said......


That seems like more fun than pledging money to a Democratic telethon.

....Her campaign netted a paltry $57,000 out of $1.1 million raised.......

In court, that is the picture I witnessed being painted by the prosecutors. Rosen was desperate to hide the costs because his last fundraiser was a net loser for her. If he had two in a row, he certainly would have lost his job. The defense team flew in the slimy Harold Ickes to testify that Rosen was not in jeapoardy of losing his job. BS.

Sounds like a plan to me. Maybe we should all to to Dem events and eat free, mingle, and find out what they're talking about.
