   A DNC source insisted it was because the party doesn’t accept PAC money.

   Since when? The DNC (as well as the RNC) accepts money for anyone/anything. It’s just how it gets to them is the question.

   Rangel does have a bit of a “rental privileges” problem that the DNC, perhaps, doesn’t want to have weight them down.

    Tavern on the Green birthday party. Nice to see that Charlie Rangel lives like the average Harlem guy he represents, having his party not in a local Harlem restaurant, but in the ritzy ‘Tavern on the Green’.
    Once again, he shout’s the Democrats tagline loud and clear….”good for Me but not for Thee…”

    If my math is correct, this leaves the DNC with about $4 cash on hand.

    I heard Boortz say this morning that the FEC was giving the DNC and RNC $17 million each for (I believe) their conventions. Can anyone follow up on this? I was busy trying to get my car unstuck from the muck that used to be my yard before Fay came along, and didn’t hear the whole thing.

    Here’s the Letter:

    Howard Dean
    Chairmain, DNC

    Dear Charlie,

    Thanks for the generous “donation” to the party’s coffers – but unfortunately we need to send it back to you. You failed to follow the guidelines that are set forth on Page 27, paragraph 4, sub paragraph 22, codicil #2 of Appendix C that states the following:

    “Contributions made to the DNC must be submitted, via third person (that is not directly related to the donor, unless it is a “significant other, not their spouse”) to the chairman in a DNC approved “deposit envelope”. The donation must be in approved currency, and in unmarked bills. Deposits must be sent to the PO Box in Vermont, for further dissemination to the party faithful.”

    We appreciate you enthusiastic support, and look forward to your participation at the convention in Denver this week.

    Signed

    Crazy Howie

    PS – Please resubmit your donation NLT Thursday, Barry O needs some petty cash for him and Joe on the trail.

    Fear not, Mike – soon a brand new trailer will pull up at what is left of your home – free, of course – along with the National Guard and a government credit card to pay for whatever you need to get your family back on ….

    What? Oh – I thought you lived in New Orleans.

    Never mind.
