…federal authorities did not consider legitimate sources of cash, including Christmas money gifts Ryan received from his government employees, reimbursements from his political campaign fund and grocery shopping at Jewel. When the Ryans wrote checks for more than $100 at the store, they may have gotten cash back with their purchases, Charnetzki said.

Ryan had access to nearly $86,000 in cash sources from 1996 to 2003, he estimated.

2. Wow. Deputy Field Director from yesterday’s release became “Volunteered on Obama’s campaign” and “Has never been paid for political work” in the Trib story on Felicia Shallow Davis.

4. It’s pretty clear that Eisendrath has hired a chef, (albeit a very good chef) to manage his campaign. He is every bit as ridiculous as Alan Keyes was, though for different reasons. Keyes was ideologically extreme and a little bit nutty. Eisendrath is just incredibly inept. It’s just too bad that he’s too small time to be noticed by Leno or Letterman.
