Stephen Bing--the Hollywood Producer Who Gave John Edwards' PAC at Least $900K
I'm off to the library this afternoon to track down an August 2002 Vanity Fair article on one of Sen. John Edwards' angels, Stephen Bing, the celebrity film-producer who gave at least $900K to New American Optimists, the Democratic presidential candidate's Leadership PAC. Just what does Bing's contribution mean in terms of Edwards' refusal to take a strong pro-Net, pro-library against Draconian copyright legislation? And might Bing even surprise us in a nice way and encourage the Senator to stop wimping out? Here's a chance for Bing to replace "Hollywood playboy" in front of his name with "library advocate." More at TeleRead. Meanwhile you can read an updated version of an earlier post on Sen. Edwards' campaign contributors.
