I Hate You and I Hate Your $24 Million….Matt Yglesias makes a good point: Why does Bush keep trying to pretend that 527s are all evil liberal fronts for the Kerry campaign? He and his wife support any number of conservative 527s, including the National Federation for Republican Women, whose magazine cover they currently grace. And Lord knows they benefit from them.
The National Republican Congressional Committee and National Republican Senatorial Committee — two 527s that are, um, Republican — raised a whopping $24 million in July at the “President’s Dinner,” one of the largest fundraising events of the year that stars the big man himself. $24 million. I guess those 527s can come in handy sometimes after all.
