Grand Old Police Blotter: Victimless Crime Edition

From the Cincinnati Enquirer:

Boehner says his treasurer took money In what could be one of the largest cases of campaign embezzlement ever, the former treasurer for Rep. John Boehner's re-election fund has been accused of stealing more than $400,000 to pay for a gambling habit, the congressman announced Tuesday.

The West Chester Republican mailed a letter to 8,000 supporters Monday to alert them to "disappointment and bad news."

...

Boehner is chairman of the House Education Committee and a major GOP player in Washington. He typically raises and spends more than $1 million on each re-election despite only token opposition.

The biggest Boehner in the Republican House since Newt Gingrich left in disgrace.

Who said there's no good news anymore?
