      The Palm Beach Post is reporting that Ann COulter has been cleared of voter fraud charges. Apparently, an FBI agent intervened and said she was trying to avoid a stalker, so that’s why she gave a phony address on the voter application and her driver’s license.

      Makes no sense to me. IF she was trying to avoid a stalker, why did she put her own name on the deed to the house she bought? She could have put it in a trust or an LLC, if she were truly concerned about stalking.

      It is another day so here is another scandal:

      A government watchdog group has called on the Federal Election Commission to fine Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla., nearly $800,000 because the group says Martinez failed to collect required information about nearly half the contributors to his 2004 campaign and took hundreds of thousands of dollars in excessive contributions.

      Calls to Martinez’s senate and campaign office, as well as to the Republican National Committee, of which he is chairman, were not immediately returned today.

      (Raw Story, emphasis added).
