Something Smells.
A White House spokesman yesterday declined to comment on whether Mr. Bush would return contributions from Mr. Noe. She deferred questions about the Ohio coin scandal to the Republican National Committee, saying, "the White House does not raise money.
Now that is just an outright lie coming from the Bush admin. Bush has been doing almost nothing BUT fundraising (on taxpayer's dime no less) since 2001.
Danny Diaz, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, would not say whether Mr. Bush is pondering the return of money raised for his campaign by Mr. Noe.
He refused to comment about the involvement of influential Republicans in Ohio's coin scandal.
Politically, he said Democrats should focus their attention on other issues.
"The DNC would be well served to focus its attention and energy behind helping the Democrat Party come up with ideas or solutions that address the pressing issues confronting our nation," Mr. Diaz said.
You know you hit paydirt when Republicans don't want you to talk about it. Especially since last I checked, corruption IS a pressing issue.
