DEL.ICIO.USAnother tale of Newt
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Newt Gingrich, the top non-candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, is under fire again for his fundraising practices.
The Politico, an insider newspaper for the Beltway crowd, is reporting here that Gingrich’s group, American Solutions for Winning the Future, solicited an illegal $50,000 contribution from a Republican-friendly Hasan Family Foundation in Colorado.
American Solutions returned the money to Hasan. But Hasan’s lawyer, Ryan Call, is still crying foul, saying the foundation never would have given the money if it hadn’t been misled by American Solutions into believing it was legal.
Rick Tyler, Gingrich’s spokesman, said Hasan made the mistake, according to the paper.
Gingrich’s problems with his web of political and policy committees has been a problem since his days as House Speaker.
Gingrich maintains that American Solutions, which deals with healthcare issues, is not what Politico called “a stealth campaign committee.” However, it is organized under federal law as a political committee.
Gingrich recently said he’d finally decide in October whether to jump into the GOP presidential race officially. He said he’s in if he can raise $30 million for advertising.

Ru Paul is the Mike Gravel of the Republican party. He will not get the nomination.

In the darkness of a melody.
There’s a leak at the end of a distant delight, and often, when a delicate line arrives in the fear of a blackbird, a tender profile invents, in a moment, the light of a sunrise, the luminous charm recalling the past.
