Great Moments In Stock Photography Usage

Jim Kenney continued to unveil his master plan yesterday as he changed his tune and says he will introduce a campaign spending bill than raises campaign donation limits rather than eliminate them.

Last week, Kenney introduced a bill to eliminate campaign contribution limits in response to Tom Knox's surge in a recent poll. (Knox is planning to spend $15 million of his own money.)

But, still, not everyone is happy. Mayoral candidate Michael Nutter, take it away:

"I can only call and ask my good friend, Councilman Kenney, to take a deep breath, take a chill pill and let this election cycle play out."

Nutter's rejected line was: "If you pass this bill, my good friend Councilman Kenney, the voters will say to you: 'You are the weakest link. Goodbye!'"

But still, the real winner with Kenney's new bill is not Nutter or Kenney or Brady or even Knox. No, it's Metro, which ran the above overloaded-sack-of-money stock photo next to the story about Kenney's new bill. Here's an idea: Get rid of campaign contributions, but make them only able to be given in giant sacks of overflowing money. (The '$' on the side is optional.)
