“Yes,
it’s true, my campaign committee has issued payment of $14,000 to the bankruptcy trustee for victims of
convicted Ponzi schemer and former North Dakota pawn shop owner Frank Vennes. Ponzi schemer? That’s someone who schemes to look like Ponzi. Yes, Mr.
Vennes was convicted of laundering big
time drug money laundering, as well as cocaine distribution and illegal firearm
sales. HEY. This is America. Capitalism rules. Yes, Mr. Vennes' Ponzi victims
are barely getting paid pennies on the dollar for their losses to Mr. Vennes.
Yes, that money represents about 80 percent of the contributions Vennes and his
wife made to my campaign, but not the $10,000 they gave my joint fundraising committee,
nor the many, many, many thousands of dollars his friends and family donated to
my campaigns. Yes, this was all reported by Mother Jones magazine, and yes,
those liberal media types are a bunch of heathens sent by God to destroy me.”

“Well,
yes, it is true that after he donated a BOATLOAD of money to me, I petitioned
the government in 2007 asking for
presidential pardon for Vennes. What? No, I don’t know if my doing so
accelerated the donations to my campaign. Oh they did? I’m sure there was NO
coincidence. Yes, it was unusual for me to make the petition because he lived
outside of my district, but I really believe he is a great humanidorian and has
repented. Yes, it’s true, the Ponzi scheme brought in more than $36 billion in
a decade. What’s that have to do with me?”
