UPDATED: SOUTH DAKOTA POLITICAL BLOG PICKS UP ENTENZA STORY
By Luke Hellier | December 5, 2009
UPDATED: Apparently, Hal Kimball has a hard time reading my blog. Â If you actually read each word of what’s posted below you will know that the area that was pasted into the post was from SOUTH DAKOTA WAR COLLEGE. The “I” in the post below is the writer of South Dakota War College. Â Which is why, I Luke Hellier. wrote please read SDWC’s post below.
I really hope bloggers like Kimball continue this tactic because they have a bright future.
South Dakota War College, a political blog from South Dakota, picked up the story about Entenza’s fundraising event in Washington, DC. The post is below:
Remember this story from a couple of years ago? If I recall, I even blogged on it:
The secretary of state’s office has forwarded possible evidence to Attorney General Larry Long that at least two Democratic political action committees failed to report $55,000 in contributions from an out-of-state donor.
and…..
Nelson didn’t name the PACs, but he did say they are related to a controversy surrounding contributions made by the wife of a prominent Democratic politician in Minnesota.
Nelson’s office began looking into the matter in July after news reports in Minnesota linked the political contributions of Lois Quam, a wealthy businesswoman there, to at least two Democratic-controlled political action committees in South Dakota.
The contributions, made in 2003, were allegedly funneled through the PACs to the South Dakota Democratic Party. The state party then sent most of the money back to the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party in Minnesota. Documents faxed anonymously to Minnesota reporters purportedly show that the money ended up in a DFL campaign committee controlled by Matt Entenza, Quam’s husband.
Entenza is the minority leader in the Minnesota House. Last month, he withdrew from the Minnesota attorney general’s race after admitting to hiring a firm to research Mike Hatch, Minnesota’s current attorney general and a DFL candidate in this year’s governor’s race.
Okay, so out of state PAC’s funneling money through SD Democratic PAC’s on behalf on a disgraced Minnesota big money democrat who used dirty tricks to go after an opponent.
Fast forward 4 years later, and guess who’s hosting the bad actor in this saga for dinner?
Several well known politicians, including Senators Evan Bayh (IN), Tim Johnson (SD), Byron Dorgan (ND) and Kent Conrad (ND), hosted a fundraiser for Matt Entenza’s campaign for governor last night in Washington D.C.
The host list also included DFL Rep. Keith Ellison, Rep. Earl Pomeroy, Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, Rep. Ron Kind and former DNC Chairs Terry McAuliffe and Joe Andrew.
Johnson and Herseth Sandlin hosting a fundraiser for a politician who will seemingly do anything to win.
It should surprise no one.
