Sharpton's campaign manager Charles Halloran blamed the FEC for the delay, saying the...reporting process has been slowed by a...fight over Sharpton's receipt of $100,000 in matching funds...(T)he FEC...determin(ed)...that the campaign must pay back (the) $100,000...because (Sharpton) spent too much of his own money...The campaign is appealing that finding, and Halloran said the FEC is holding Sharpton to a higher standard than President Bush on matters of campaign travel. Applies and oranges. What Bush is being accused of, however rightfully, is misusing taxpayer money, not his own. Given Sharpton's previous modus operandis, the money is probably long gone, so he's playing a discrimination card by claiming Georgie's sins are bigger.
Halloran said a campaign lawyer sent the report in after Friday's 5 p.m. deadline... The original deadline fell on a Thursday. Four business days after that, including Memorial Day, means it was due yesterday, also a Thursday. Why is he acting so proud? Any if they were being so careful, why didn't they inform the FEC once they knew they were going to be late?
