Bad money in – bad money out

Robert Torricelli can’t do anything honestly. From today’s NY Post Page Six:

January 6, 2004 -- DISGRACED former New Jersey Sen. Robert Torricelli is trying to win over Democratic White House wannabes. "The Torch" - who dropped his re-election bid in 2002 after being implicated in a gifts-for-favors scandal with businessman David Chang - gave the maximum allowable donation of $2,000 to both Sen. John Kerry and Rep. Richard Gephardt, according to The Post's Stefan C. Friedman. Federal campaign-finance documents reveal that Torricelli tried to give Gephardt an extra thousand bucks, but the Missouri congressman returned it because the donation would have violated the $2,000 cap.

Oh boy.
