This Clinton donor is wanted by the FBI, and he’s a Pakistani named Abdul Rehman Jinnah. He’s wanted for illegally funneling contributions to Hillary, and Barbra Boxer’s political coffers in 2004.

Gateway Pundit, Atlas Shrugs and Sweetness and Light have the story so far.

Gateway:

A Pakistani immigrant who hosted fundraisers in Southern California for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is being sought by the FBI on charges that he funneled illegal contributions to Clinton’s political action committee and Sen. Barbara Boxer’s 2004 reelection campaign. Authorities say Northridge businessman Abdul Rehman Jinnah, 56, fled the country after an indictment accused him of engineering more than $50,000 in illegal donations to the Democratic committees. A business associate charged as a co-conspirator has entered a guilty plea and is scheduled to be sentenced in Los Angeles next week.

Will Hillary return this money, too?

Will “the Deciders” deem this a significant story to cover?

Will the Democrats manage to control Congress, and the Whitehouse, after the ’08 elections, (but the Republicans control the bathrooms)?

‘Cause that’s what’s gonna happen, unless the Repubs get smart, and get mean.

These scandals are a gift to the Republican party.

Use them.

Stay tuned.

Well, this is sure to endear him to the masses:

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards told a labor group he would ask Americans to make a big sacrifice: their sport utility vehicles.

The former North Carolina senator told a forum by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, yesterday he thinks Americans are willing to sacrifice.

Edwards says Americans should be asked to drive more fuel efficient vehicles. He says he would ask them to give up SUVs.

Edwards himself, drives a hybrid Ford Escape.

His campaign bus is 80/20 biofuel and he claims he’s running his campaign carbon neutral.

So he’s got his own vehicles, covered…..

But there’s still the private jet rides, and that 28,000 square foot house in North Carolina, also supposedly “carbon neutral”. For some strange reason, he and Elizabeth are reluctant to share the utility bills with the public.

But hey, John (Two Americas, and my new house takes up almost all of one of them) Edwards drives a hybrid; he’s cool.

I am Gobsmacked!:

Innocent Bystanders has an aerial photo of the Edwards’ house in North Carolina….with several SUV’s in the driveway!
