The mess keeps getting messier...

Melinda, commenting on an article in the St. Petersburg Times, sums things up nicely. The Times reported about how Bubba The Love Sponge Clem contributed large sums of money to Sheriff Jim Coats campaign for reelection. From the article:
To date, Clem has given $1,000 to Coats under his own name. He also sent money to the campaign through seven corporations:
• The Bubba Radio Network ($500).
• Bubba Army ($500).
• BRN Shock Media ($500).
• BTLS Web Media ($500).
• B3H Web Holdings ($100).
• BRN Travel, Inc. ($250).
• Intense Frequency ($500).
Clem promised $2,000 or $3,000 more from people including his wife, Heather, and his producer, Hatley.
Melinda's comment:
If someone who legally changed his name to include 'Love Sponge' is this adept at creating shell corporations to evade taxes and buy influence, imagine how dirty it gets higher up the power ladder.
