Sure, He’s into Public Sex, But the Guy is Loaded

2004.6.30.ryan.jpgJack Ryan (we swear we’ll stop writing about this...soon) is giving refunds to the sorry suckers who donated to his campaign. He raised about $1.5 million after the primaries, and expects about half of his donors to request refunds. Even if you kicked in like $10, definitely, definitely get that back—other helpful Jack Ryan articles today tell us that the GOP is beyond hope in Illinois. So even if Ryan gave his campaign funds to the Republican party, that’s just money down the shitter.

"Jack's committed to reaching into his own pocket to make sure that everyone in the campaign is paid," [Ryan’s campaign manager Jason] Miller said. Staff members are being helped with applications for jobs, he said, and Ryan will pay any longtime staff members through November if they are unable to find jobs. Ryan "doesn't want anyone to worry about where their rent money is coming from."

See, he’s a good guy. That "downright upright" slogan still makes sense.

Seriously, enough with the Jack Ryan stories.

He'll probably get a good book deal, as disgraced wannabe candidate.
