John Edwards, widely derided as “the Breck Girl” for his well-coifed hair, has a secret admirer. Well, secret from the voting public, anyway. And quite a generous secret admirer, too. The New York Sun reports:
A mysterious $250,000 donation used to bankroll a political committee controlled by a potential candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, John Edwards, highlights a gap in federal laws requiring reporting of political contributions.
In June, a closely held company gave a quarter of a million dollars to the One America Committee, a so-called 527 organization affiliated with Mr. Edwards, who became the Democrats’ vice presidential nominee in 2004 after making a spirited but ultimately unsuccessful bid for the presidential nomination.
A report that the committee filed with the Internal Revenue Service identified the donor as Oak Spring Farms, LLC, and listed an address of 160 Central Park South, which is the location of the Jumeirah Essex House Hotel. The firm’s “occupation” was described as “investments/savings.” No other details about the company were made public.
However, a search of Federal Election Commission records linked the firm to a Manhattan trust attorney, Alexander Forger. Reached at his midtown office Wednesday, the lawyer told The New York Sun that he was not a principal in Oak Spring Farms.
“I’m simply acting on behalf of somebody else,” Mr. Forger said. He declined to identify the owners of the company or to discuss its other activities.
The gist underscores the ridiculous failure of the McCain-Feingold legislation attempting to regulate money in politics. We are worse off for its passage, and it should be repealed.

"Foolish Feingold" Ping!

The continuing gift of unintended consequences. Some Campaign Finance Reform! Funding the Breck Girl. Blech!
Are you saying he's a phoney boob?
Watch this video of him, and you will understand WHY he was widely derided. It is hilarious, but at the same time, disturbing that this "man" came so close to the Vice Presidency.
Watch the Breck Girl Primp and Preen...
(You need Quicktime...and give it just a few seconds to load)
This was an intended consequence.
At least phoney boobs have a useful purpose...:)
Good point(s)...
From Cheeder, Forger and Lahyer.

By the way................ the old slimy media trying to tell us there is a “Republican Rebellion” against G.W. ......... that's about as real as a “Democrat Spine”.
Trial lawyers of course.

Mellon?
Self-explanatory -- isn't that usually the part that gets them in trouble?? ;D
No, really? Not "Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.?" Or "Thurston Howell, III?" Or even John F. al-Kerry, Almost Esq.?"
Was ol' Al's secretary named "Anita Coffee?"
The Clinton Library and Massage Parlor secretly gave the donation to keep the former Pervert in Chief from having to cut short his dating agenda to play the role of "First Lady" in the White House to the Dyke?

Donors gave 785 large ($200+) contributions to this PAC in 2005-2006.
