Posted at 8:29am on Jun. 5, 2008 Don't tell the lefty groups but private equity funds Dems
By Soren Dayton
Yesterday, the New York Times' Michael J. de la Merced and the Politico's Lisa Lerer covered SEIU and MoveOn going after private equity firm KKR. We have written about this before. This time the reporters try to add in John McCain to the mix by arguing that Henry Kravis (the 2nd K in KKR) is raising money for McCain. So far a total of $29k.
| Candidate | Amount |
| Dodd | $20,700 |
| Obama | $9,540 |
| Clinton | $4,750 |
But somehow the reporters swallowed the story and didn't notice what kind of money is flowing to Obama, Democratic candidates, and Democratic Party from KKR. The Presidential numbers are in the table to my right. This is reminiscent of Newsweek's recent intellectual blunder when they failed to report that the CEO of a bank was bundling for Obama. Just lazy I guess.
If only it stopped there. Read on.
