Taking a page from the Bush book

As most of us in the blogosphere know even though no one else seems to be aware of it, John McCain is violating the federal election laws by continuing to spend money on his campaign. He had agreed to rely on federal funding for the primary campaign and actually borrowed money based ability to repay from federal funds. Later, when his fund raising efforts became more successful he renounced the federal funds, but it was too late, since he'd already used the promise of those funds to back the loan. Thus, he is now in violation of the law (potentially a felony offense). The DNC is now filing suit to force and investigation. Of course, McCain has taken a page from Bush. He claims his lawyers told him it was okay to go on spending, so, even if it is illegal, it's not his fault and he shouldn't be punished. His lawyers told him it was okay -- so it is okay.
