Well, Howard, I think you might have a case.
TROUBLE IN PARADISE FOR SENATOR THUNE OF S.D.
Senator Thune sat on the board of a bank who lent millions to Nelson's automotive company, which recently went bankrupt. Nelson, by the way, was a top advisor to Thune during his previous congressional campaigns. Nelson had contributed to Thune's campaigns and received almost $90K from the Thune's campaign in 2004 for car leases and office space.
Another rat story.
Excerpt:
And now it could produce political fallout for Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., a close friend and political ally of Nelson. Before his election to the Senate in a historic win over incumbent Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., last November, Thune sat on the board of directors of a Sioux Falls bank that granted millions of dollars in loans to Nelson Automotive. MetaBank, formerly First Federal Bank, is now trying to collect those defaulted loans in the bankruptcy proceedings.
