Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Ken Mehlman says he isn't responsible for an ad run by the Republican National Committee.
  • I'm not suggesting anything illegal

    But something's really wrong with this picture.

    On one hand we have: "Republican National Committee is responsible for the content of this advertisement."

    And on the other, we have: "independent expenditure" produced by an arm of the Republican National Committee that is legally prohibited from coordinating with Mehlman."

    How can the RNC be legally required to take responsiblility for the ad, but be legally prohibited from coordinating with the people actually producing the ad?
