Supreme plot
Palm Beach County commissioner faces stiff fine over illegal fund-raising effort to oust three state justices



July 09, 2003 By: Dan Christensen







In a case with national political implications, the Florida Elections Commission has ruled that Palm Beach County Commissioner Mary McCarty violated state campaign finance rules in working to oust three Florida Supreme Court justices. It will decide next month whether to impose up to $450,000 in fines against her.

...

The commission will determine any fine and finalize a final written order in the case at its next meeting Aug. 13-14 in Tallahassee. She has the right to contest the final order before a state appellate court.

But state administrative law judge Harry L. Hooper, who presided over McCarty’s hearing in February on the campaign finance charges, concluded on May 1 that the former Palm Beach County Republican Party chairwoman was little more than a front for a Washington, D.C.-based campaign against the justices, which was organized during the 2000 presidential election recount battle.

That campaign, Judge Hooper found, was orchestrated by Roger J. Stone Jr., a Republican lobbyist and political operative who has said he worked for President Richard Nixon’s Watergate-era re-election committee and served as a campaign strategist for Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Stone, who owns a $2.2 million bayfront mansion in Surfside, received $1.8 million from the Miami-Dade County Commission last year for political work he did for the county.

3. Incredible.

No, wait, it's Florida, it's Republicans: it's not incredible.

4. I remember when she took up

the "task" of the SC judges. I couldn't believe it at the time. Interesting, in that McCarty seems to be quite popular in her district, and she's a member of just about every organization in her area, philanthropic, political, and every other kind, many of them "good" organizations.

She's a relatively decent person, as far as Republicans go. Stone should pay her fines for her. She a fall guy. I hope she learned her lessons about playing with fire.

5. DIRT ON ROGER STONE!

Gang,

I remember Roger Stone during Clinton's Presidency. It was before impeachment and Monica shit was starting up.

Stone was a right wing media darling who appeared on lotsa talk shows. He went around alleging that Clinton "hit on" his hot wife at Nixon's funeral. He repeated this allegation often and all over the place.

Then is was discovered that Stone and his wife had placed an ad in a swinger's publication, looking for men to fuck his wife. Then I remember seeing a picture someone unearthed of Stone. It was a video capture of Stone appearing at some swingers orgy. He's literally standing there naked, except for a dog collar, and holding a drink in his hand. Hilarious.

Then he shut the fuck up!

Wish someone could find that pic and the orginal dirt on him. Takers?

6. Here's more on Stone:

found this online:


ROGER STONE – A MAJOR SLEAZEBALL

Much of that prompting no doubt came from Roger Stone, the Republican political operative kicked out of the Dole campaign when the tabloids revealed that he and his wife had placed sex ads in a slew of sleazy magazines, advertising for "couples": "Prefer military, bodybuilders, jocks. No smokers or fat please."

It was also revealed that Stone, in the company of his wife, visited a Washington sex club called Capitol Couple. Writing about Stone’s disgrace in the New Republic, Dana Milbank puts it this way:

"There were photos of her in a black negligee and him bare-chested, and there was an enumeration of her personal measurements. Stone said he had been set up, but he was forced to step down as an adviser to the Dole campaign.
