House Majority Whip Clyburn Calls for Probe of SC Dem Primary

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) called for South Carolina to investigate the circumstances that led to Alvin Greene winning the Democratic Senate primary in his state earlier this week.

"There were some real shenanigans going on in the South Carolina primary," Clyburn said during an appearance on the liberal Bill Press radio show. "I don't know if he was a Republican plant; he was someone's plant."

The third-ranking House Democrat said he found it strange that Greene, a relative unknown prior to Tuesday, was able to produce the money to register and run for Senate despite being unemployed.

Greene allegedly tried to pay the registation fee in cash, and Clyburn said he wondered whether an outside party might have funded both the fee and Greene's campaign, in violation of federal campaign finance laws.

Yes, Clyburn--investigate.  By all means, please do.

It will be funny when thy discover that some democrat put up the money for him just so the democrats would have a choice in the primary.

"Hey y'all, don't you think we should run some dumbass against the douchebag just so folks will think they had a choice in this?"......"Good idea. And I have just the right (n-word) for the job."....."Whatta you mean the dumbass won?"

If not a Rovian plot how about one from Mel Brooks?

Actually, it reminds me of that little bit from Eddie Murphy "Delirious" where he talks about Jesse Jackson running for president, and everyone got all drunk, etc., then the next day, they're saying, "He ****ing WON?"
