RNC took contributions from a porn company that featured active duty soldiers in its flicks:
The president of Marina Pacific, Nicholas Boyias, has personally contributed to the Republican party several times over the last few years, six times to the Republican National Committee. The donations range from $200 to $500 and total around $2,000, according to a search of federal election records.
The RNC would not comment on the donations from Boyias or from the porn industry in general.
A Marina Pacific spokesman said Boyias is a moderate Republican who supports candidates and causes on both sides of the aisle, though no contributions to Democrats were found in a search of federal election records. The company continues to sell Active Duty's films, which include "Fire in the Hole," "Platoon Party" and "Thrill Sergeant."

Values voters anyone?
Also at ABC's the blotter, Republicans held damage control conference calls before the Foley scandal broke:
The National Republican Campaign Committee along with the Foley campaign team held conference calls to control the potential damage regarding an ABC News' inquiry into correspondence between then-Congressman Mark Foley (R-Fla.) and a former congressional page.
The calls were first reported today on the daily political blog of the New York Daily News.
NRCC Communications Director Carl Forti and Kirk Fordham, then the chief of staff to NRCC Chairman Tom Reynolds, participated in the calls, the first of which took place on Wednesday, Sept. 27, according to the reporter Ben Smith.

MSNBC and BBC's top story is the curfew in Iraq following Saddam's verdict, CBS decided that Cheney going hunting was of prime interest less than 24 hours before election day, and Fox gives equal importance to Saddam, and Haggard.
Now on to blogs.
The conservative voice thinks its of prime importance that Bush is heading south today , Free Republic bashes Helen Thomas, Pelosi, and relives the Elian Gonzales story (are they desperate or what?) and Townhall thinks its of prime importance (it is) that both parties are working hard to turn out the vote.
There you have it boys and girls, despite ABC's protestations to the contrary, they are the ones shining the light on the republicans hypocrisy. Sneaky.
