Originally posted by Erlkonig If you actually read the WaPo article, it's not clear that Clark has violated FEC regulations. The article itself is titled "Clark May Have Broken Law in Paid Speeches." Doesn't exactly imply the title of this thread, does it? The Repugnant-can slime machine at work.
Larry Noble, a former FEC general counsel who heads the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, said Clark's speeches are "problematic" because "the insertion of campaign-related items into his speech can turn it into a campaign speech." If so, the paid appearances would amount to "illegal contributions," Noble said. ............................. ...Clark blasted Bush's Iraq policy and outlined how he would handle foreign affairs differently. During the Q&A that followed, Clark talked in detail about his qualifications and ideas for the presidency.
