Ginsberg 8-7-04 criticized Ickes and Richardson for Dual Roles 527's
Edited on Fri Aug-27-04 04:33 PM by rmpalmer
For example, Ben Ginsberg, a legal adviser to the Bush campaign, specifically condemned the dual roles played by Democrats Harold Ickes and Bill Richardson, who had official roles at the convention and also within prominent friendly 527s.

"They're over the coordination line," Ginsberg said of Ickes and Richardson. "The whole notion of cutting off links between public officeholders and soft-money groups just got exploded."

Ooops. And Ginsberg is also "closely affiliated with Progress for America, the new GOP 527 that is running the "What would Kerry have done on 9-11" ads. (For one, he would have excused himself from that classroom and gotten to work immediately on a response.)
