So. Bush is "shedding" donations from convicted felons.

How convenient, ditching the donations like they were just used Kleenexes...


WASHINGTON - President Bush and several other Republican officials have begun shedding campaign donations from former House aide and lobbyist Neil Volz, the latest person to plead guilty in a widening lobbying scandal.

Volz, who pleaded guilty Monday to charges of conspiracy to corrupt his former boss, Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, has given $26,035 to Republican political campaigns and committees since 2002, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.

Among the donations was $2,000 to Bush's 2004 re-election campaign. Republican National Committee spokesman Aaron McLear said Tuesday the remnants of the campaign organization would give the money to a charity....

One congressman who declined to give up the donations was Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, whose political action committee got $300 from Volz. "The contribution was legally donated and publicly disclosed," said Boehner spokesman Don Seymour. Boehner has similarly declined to give up more than $30,000 he got from Abramoff's Indian tribe clients, saying his own work on tribal issues justified the contributions.

This is being done with considerable speed however.

numbers are $2000, $250,000, $1 Mill. What's with the $35 od amount? I also find it odd that they're talking about $300 donations. I understand spreading your money around, but isn't it a bit strange to do it in such small increments?
