So, on September 6th John Cornyn got a pithy letter from the Federal Elections Commission.

It was a Dear John letter that went something like this:

John Cornyn

Dear John –

When you file FEC reports, you actually have to explain what you spend the money on.  “Whatever” is not an acceptable explanation.

Usually these vague explanations mean the candidate has something to hide.

You aren’t cheating on us with that floozy, the Texas Ethics Commission are you John?

We’re waiting for an answer John.

The FEDERAL Election Commission.

And then there’s that other John.  Boehner.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting —

The Federal Election Commission is examining whether dozens of political action committees and individuals contributed more than the legally allowed amount to House Speaker John Boehner during last year’s election cycle.

Among the groups that were allegedly overgenerous to Boehner were Coalpac and Minepac, which represent the mining industry, as well as political committees representing the Exelon, Constellation and Luminant power companies, and the Ceasars and Penn National gambling enterprises.

Good Lord, Darth Vader has better friends.

Boehner’s campaign said that he can’t be expected to keep up with all the people who give him money.  After all, he did raised $22 million in the 2012 election cycle and no less that $327.67 of it was perfectly legal but does the media report that?  No, they do not.  They only want to talk about the 21,999672.33 that was suspicious.

It’s a bad time to a John, right?

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen and Brian C for the heads up.
