Vice-President Biden (a.k.a. VP Bite-Me) can't keep his campaign finances straight. Buried on page 19 of the newspaper, it seems that the VP owes the U.S. Treasury more than $219,000 to resolve issues "caused by sloppy bookkeeping." The Federal Election Commission says that:
1) Biden's campaign accepted an improper corporate contribution in the form of a round-trip flight for three people between New Hampshire and Iowa.
2) The campaign did not return at least $106,000 in improper contributions.
3) The campaign owes the Treasury more than $85,000 for "stale-dated" checks.
4) The campaign failed to disclose $3.7 million in payments and $870,000 in debts.
I guess the Election Commission is right, because a Bite-Me spokeswoman says the campaign will repay the money.
Now comes my question -- if this were Dick Cheney or John McCain, do you think we'd have to burrow down to page 19 to find it?
