Ed Broyhill Fined $71K

Republican Ed Broyhill, who spent $1.3 million of his own money in 2004 in seeking the congressional seat now smothered under the specific gravity of Madam Foxx, has been fined over $71,000 by the Federal Elections Commission.

Salt in his wounds.

Broyhill, who would have been a much more moderate representative in Washington than Foxx has proven to be, was supported by several prominent local Democrats ... in the absence of any viable Democratic alternative to The Madam.
