Meg Whitman Gives Her Campaign Another $15M, Sets Spending Record

(Sept. 15) -- Money may not be able to buy you love, but if you spend enough, it might be able to buy enough affection to secure a vote or two. After loaning her campaign another $15 million on Tuesday, California Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman made history. The latest cash infusion from her own bank account means that she has now funneled $119 million of her own cash into her contest with Democrat Jerry Brown, setting a record for the most money that a candidate has ever personally ponied up in an attempt to attain public office, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Buy Obama's Old Car on E-Bay for a Cool $100K

So, not many people seem to want to buy cars made by Chrysler these days, but what about a Chrysler 300 that was once owned by soon-to-be president Barack Obama? Yes, with its V-8 engine, it's a bit of a gas guzzler. Still, the ride has leather seats, a navigation system, and a sun roof. The Obamas ditched the 300 in '07 in favor of a Ford Escape Hybrid.

Rush Shames Senate Democrats

Rush Shames Senate Democrats

It is being called the greatest example of turning lemons to lemonade in recent political history. Rush Limbaugh was sent a letter of condemnation by Senate Democrats. The senators were ostensibly offended by a segment on Mr. Limbaugh's talk show in which he castigated "phony soldiers." Well, Rush put the letter on e-Bay, promising to match the selling price and give the total amount to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. The letter sold for $2.1 million! Rush then asked Senate Democrats - apparently deeply sensitive to the needs of our armed forces - to match the selling price as ...
