The people drawing comparisons this week between Rosie O’Donnell’s illegally over-sized campaign contributions and convicted felon Dinesh D’Souza’s straw donation scheme are either ignorant or dishonest – or both.

It’s true that O’Donnell has run afoul of Federal Election Commission rules by donating more than the maximum personal amount allowed per election ($2,700) to “at least five Democratic federal candidates,” the New York Post reported this week. It’s also true that her donations were filed from at least five separate New York addresses.
