I’ll bet Tim Durham didn’t donate anything (but grist for the mill) to FH.

FH: here is a little more info for you on why Tim has been able to do this:

November 25, 2009 theindychannel.com
Politicians Distance Themselves From Indy Businessman Tim Durham Donated More Than $800K To Politicians
…A search of campaign finance records showed that [he] contributed at least $809,653 to candidates and political committees, virtually all of them Republicans, at the local, state and federal levels in the last few years… Gov. Mitch Daniels… received the most Durham money at $280,000. Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi, who acknowledged Durham as a friend, got $178,949 of
the financier’s cash and services, and had been asked to serve on the board of Fair Financial. …the state GOP received at least $150,000 from Durham, and the Marion County party and its finance arm got $66,200. …House [GOP] leader Brian Bosma and his caucus’s campaign committee received $54,580.

Fh asked: “Tell me something. In this day and age, how can a guy like Durham get away with this scam for so long? Wake up, Indiana! Have Todd Rokita’s TV commercials taught us nothing?”

Answere…he lasted this long becaise he was being covered by highly placed R’s, that is why…and you know it. Motsinger was the first, Brizzi will be second, and then the rest will start to fall like dominoes.

You might wamt to start looking for a new gig.

The line about certain “TV commercials [having] “taught us nothing” may be the best work of multi-layered political prose I have seen this year.

I counted at least three secondary messages in that paragraph. Somebody will probably receive a phone call over that one.
