...is this bit, where they clearly and easily catch the Rmoney campaign attempting to make press transportation a profit center, and get tripped up by their own greed:

We have similar concerns about ground transportation costs, which at times exceeded $1,000 a day and were far higher per capita than what the campaign charged during the primaries--despite the larger numbers of reporters, photographers and television crews travelling and dividing the costs. One news organization contacted two of the bus agencies used by the campaign; it was clear from their reporting that the costs you charged us far outdistanced what you paid for the transportation.


It's just so petty and stupid. One gets the idea that they took every expense they charged to the reporters and added, say, 50%. Just petty bush-league greedy stick-it-to-everyone-else bullshit. Standard operating proceedure for Rmoney.
