Grand Old Police Blotter: Fundraisers, Crooks and Thieves Edition

Remember Roger Stone, the G.O.P. political consultant who allegedly placed nude photographs of himself in a swinger's magazine? (I say allegedly because I can't find much about the story except for this Margaret Carlson article from 1996.) The Washington Post says he's the sugar daddy behind a political action committee which engaged in illegal fundraising in an effort to unseat the Florida Supreme Court justices who nearly thwarted Electiontheft 2000. The Florida Election Commission is considering whether to levy fines of up to $450,000 against the G.O.P. chairwoman of the PAC.

For his part, Stone is threatening to sue the Florida Election Commission "for harming his reputation." Is it possible to damage the reputation of a G.O.P. consultant who seeks sex partners through porno mags?
