Title: What's the Vig on PAC Funding?
Post by: Ben on October 21, 2013, 11:31:45 AM: The abuse of PAC funds appears to happen pretty equally on both sides of the aisle, but it cracks me up that the liberal, "I hate the 1% and their evil banks" Dem is charging 18% interest on her loan to her own PAC. I'd like a piece of that action.

Nothing in the article comes as a surprise, unfortunately.

It's the colloquial term for interest paid to bent-nosed Shylocks.

As one of the resident Jewzians, I am offended by this. Implying that Grace Napolitano is one of us bent-nosed Shylocks is insulting.
