Dick, Specter, and Burns wrap-up..

1. An FEC audit revealed that "Sen. Arlen Specter's 2004 re-election campaign collected more than $1 million in excessive contributions, failed to properly disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars in receipts from political party committees and political action committees, and missed a key reporting deadline before the primary election."

2. Former Sen. Conrad Burns, (R-MT), who received extensive contributions from convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, "is no longer under investigation by the Justice Department for his connections" to Abramoff.

3. Supporters of Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) conducted a sit-in at his Brooklyn office yesterday, calling for the impeachment of Vice President Cheney. The activists want Nadler to use his position as the Chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Constitution to force a hearing on the matter.
