PDC says Democrats broke finance laws

I read this, and was simultaneously amused and annoyed.

Campaign regulators filed a formal complaint yesterday against the state Democratic Party, alleging it broke several laws by failing to properly report more than $5.9 million in soft-money donations during the 2000 election — the largest sum ever investigated by the watchdog agency.

Another paragraph is likely to set the spin doctors into overtime:

There was no intent to deceive anyone," he said yesterday. "There was nothing to be gained by not reporting it. It's just a horrible mistake. I think it was a very serious mistake, and I'm working around the clock to try to get on top of it."

Hmmm, What about the fuss about Bush filing paperwork from his stock sale eight months late? Six of these returns are now more than TWO YEARS overdue.
