....Howard Dean is seen as a threat to a LOT of people, yet another "scandal" now headlining Drudge:
AP Exclusive: While governor, Dean accepted speaking fees, gifts from special interests
While governor of Vermont, Howard Dean accepted personal pay from special interests at least five times for speeches and also received more than $60,000 in checks and pledges for his charity fund from insurers who benefited from a state tax break, according to documents and interviews.
Dean's fees and charitable donations were legal and did not have to be disclosed under Vermont law but were detailed in correspondence and tax records reviewed by The Associated Press.
Yes, you read that right -- it was all legal and didn't require disclosure....but for some reason, its news 10 days before the Iowa caucus starts.
