Eddie Izzard's Al Franken donation isn't funny to Jeff Larson


It looks like Jeff Larson just can't let go the lost of Senate seat of ​Norm Coleman to Al Franken.

Coleman's D.C. landlord and Sarah Palin's personal shopper is head of an outfit called Senate Accountability Watch. And he's filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing Franken's Midwest Values PAC of illegally taking money from a foreign national.

The evil overseas influencer in question is comedian Eddie Izzard.Izzard, it's true, has been fairly generous, donating tens of thousands of dollars to various Democrats and liberal organizations in recent years. He was also very open about it. Which makes sense. He had nothing to hide:

Yes, Izzard has a "green card," a United States Permanent Resident Card. And here's the relevant clause from the Federal Election Commission website:

An immigrant may make a contribution if he or she has a "green card" indicating his or her lawful admittance for permanent residence in the United States.
