Help Me Understand the Christine O’Donnell FEC Report. It’s Palinicious.

Filed in National by on April 27, 2010 15 Comments

A gold mine of info. Christine identified a grand total of 15 people.

But when you call that number, you get the answering machine machine message for “Rollins Jamaica.” You see, Michele Rollins is chairman of Rollins Jamaica, a 7,000-acre complex of luxury hotels, residences and golf courses near Montego Bay, Jamaica. This is in addition to her serving on the board of directors of Wilmington Trust Company, which of course allowed her to take outrageous bonuses at the tax payer’s expense.
