The Obama scammer   [Mark Steyn]

Further to my post below about the Obama campaign intentionally disabling security checks for their credit card donations, several readers have wandered over to the site to test it out. One was accepted with the following details:

Name: JarackBoe BOamabiden
Address: 2345 Fak Addrss Lane
Phone: 555-555-5555
Email: barackjoe@obama.com

The only query he got back was to ask him if he didn't want to give more money.

By the way, don't all stampede over to Barack's place to test out whether he accepts ten bucks from Kim Jong-Il and fifteen from Queen Marie of Roumania. Or, if you do, keep the donations low. It occurs to me this might be just another wheeze to sucker conservatives into ponying up his expenses for these last 12 days. If he pulls this off, we'll be doing enough of that after January.

You'd think a diligent New York Times reporter might want to check out this thing. After all, most of them have already been over there to make their own donations, so it's not like they don't know the URL.

[UPDATE: And another - a $15 donation from:

Name: Della Ware
Address: 12345 No Way
    Far Far Away, DE 78954
Employer: Americans Against Obama
Position: Founder]
