"WASHINGTON - Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a former Republican Party chairman, arranged the startup financing for a GOP telemarketing company implicated in two criminal cases involving election dirty tricks.
Virginia corporation records show Barbour's investment company arranged a quarter-million dollar loan to GOP Marketplace in 2000 and also gave a promotional plug to the telemarketer several months later.
A spokesman for the governor said Barbour had no idea the company would engage in criminal activity two years later. The lawyer for the now-defunct company's convicted president said Barbour was not consulted about its operations."
Like I used to say on the police force, "Nothing to see here - move along.."
You know - lies, damn lies and the real under reported story of true corruption which is the State of Louisiana.
I do wonder why the Associated Depressed seems unimpressed with the story of U.S. Rep. Bill Jefferson? Oh yeah, he's a democrat.
