John Edwards' 2008 presidential campaign must repay $2.3 million in federal campaign funds, the Federal Election Commission ruled Thursday.

He has $600 million that he legally extorted from doctors with his fetus-channeling scam. This payback is tip money, and it won't even come from his personal fortune.

When's he going to prison?

I really feel cheated on this...Not only should he have to wear a pink/orange one piece and do a perp-walk to the state pen, but his fine should have been in the 10’s of millions of dollars to compensate all those businesses and industries he and his ambulance chasing bud ruined!!!

2.3 million means John-boy washes a helluva lot of prison laundry.
