It was the Clintons that invented Super PACs

[FreakinDJ]

Of course the typical Clinton "Word Play" predicated the necessity of Super PACs

For much of the '70s and '80s, this curious arrangement worked. But then came Bill Clinton's 1996 reelection bid, when the president vowed to adhere to a spending limit of $37 million in exchange for receiving federal campaign funds. Meanwhile, however, Clinton was huddling with top donors to the Democratic National Committee and plotting to use their money for pro-Clinton TV ads. In the end, the Democratic Party used every trick in the book to evade campaign-finance law and woo donors, including sleepovers at the White House, flights on Air Force One, and even use of the presidential box seats at the Kennedy Center. The '96 election, says one expert on political fundraising, caused "nothing less than the breakdown of the campaign-finance system."
