One of the most curious fundraising reports of the second quarter came from Republican Les Phillip, who is looking to challenge Rep. Parker Griffith (D-Ala.) in a top national race.
If you've heard of Phillip, it's probably because he welcomed former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee to his ...

The price of Huck

From The Hill:
[Republican congressional candidate Les Phillip's] disbursements include a $33,990 speaking fee for Huckabee...
In other words, Phillip spent nearly $45,000 to raise less than $20,000 and took a major financial hit for the Huckabee event.

The purpose listed? A "Personal Loan from Les Phillip to cover general campaign expenses and Mike Huckabee event expenses."
Speaking fees for ...

Included in the expenses was a cool speaking ...

Not counting the $438 lunch-- and thousands of dollars in event expenses like audio and staging-- Huckabee charged far right lunatic Les Phillip $33,990, euphemistically termed a "speaking fee," for an endorsement of his candidacy against one of Congress' most reactionary Blue Dogs, Alabama winger Parker Griffith. Seems pretty cheap for an endorsement from a ...
