One Night In Paris…
The Schwarzenegger money-grubbing operation knows no bounds.
The governor once campaigned against special interest fundraising but is now raising millions from corporations and others who have business before the State.
And now, it seems, he has absolutely no problem keeping money from characters of questionable reputation, including $10,000 in dirty money from a man under investigation for defrauding Ohio of $15 million and even a contribution from scandalous socialite Paris Hilton.
Saturday’s San Jose Mercury News reported that Schwarzenegger is refusing to return $10,000 from Tom Noe, a prominent Ohio coin dealer under investigation for possibly defrauding his state of millions. This despite the fact that President Bush, the Republican National Committee and Ohio politicians have returned more than $66,000 in questionable contributions.
White House spokesman Scottt McClellan said, ``I think that there are some serious allegations that have been raised against this individual. They have raised concerns with people in Ohio. They have raised concerns with the White House. And the president felt it was the right thing to return those contributions that came directly from him.” (San Jose Mercury News, 06-03-05)
Among the hundreds of thousands of dollars from Big Business interests in a Friday night massive dump of late contribution reports from Schwarzenegger’s California Recovery Team, was a $5,000 contribution from Club Paris LLC in Orlando, FL.
Club Paris is Paris Hilton’s nightclub, described as “THE place to party in Orlando. Featuring over 22,000 square feet of dance areas, state-of-the-art light and sound systems, and a decadent VIP section that includes a cozy boudoir area perfect for intimate encounters.” http://www.clubparis.net/vip/
Hmm? I wonder if the contribution comes with a free car wash? http://www.carlsjr.com/ontv
