Campaign fund irregularities for Cat Killer Frist -
Some days you just can't get any good news. Couldn't happen to a more deserving fella. Found this at HuffingtonPost.com. Read it and laugh yourself silly.

Frist rebuts complaint, denies he hid $1.44M loan

Paperwork 'done within the FEC guidelines'

By BOB KEMPER
Cox News Service

WASHINGTON — In his first public comments about his campaign finances, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist yesterday said he was not trying to hide a $1.44 million loan in 2000 and 2001, as a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission alleges.

(snip)

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington last month filed a complaint against Frist with the FEC alleging that he tried to hide the $1.44 million loan his campaign took out in November 2000 so it could repay Frist for money he lent the campaign six years earlier.

The complaint was based on an Atlanta Journal-Constitution story disclosing Frist's campaign finances.

Frist's campaign committee, Frist 2000 Inc., is listed in bank documents as the borrower of the loan, but Frist 2000 did not report the loan to the FEC. Instead, the loan was reported by another Frist committee, Bill Frist for Senate Inc., which was set up in 1994 and was virtually dormant in 2000.

The effect was to make Frist's 2000 campaign looked financially stronger than it actually was at a time when Frist's $1 million investment was losing as much as $160,000 a month.
