Is there no campaign finance law John won't violate?

First it was his own spending limits, then it was the large number of unknown contributors. Then we had the foreign nationals contributing to a bundler even though they had no idea who McCain was. Now we find the McCain camp is actively soliciting foreigners.
No later than the newest attack on Sen. Obama for accepting contributions from possible foreign nationals, the McCain campaign, it appears, has hit up the Russian mission to the United Nations for a cash injection.

Russia's permanent mission to the UN has received a letter from U.S. Republican presidential candidate John McCain asking for financial support of his election campaign, the mission said in a statement on Monday.

"We have received a letter from Senator John McCain with a request for a financial donation to his presidential election campaign. In this respect we have to reiterate that neither Russia's permanent mission to the UN nor the Russian government or its officials finance political activities in foreign countries," the statement said.
The Russians were amused.
