The following is from this WaPo article about the failure of a GOP political action committee that was set up to recruit and help out minority candidates to actually give money to such candidates:
Shortly before the 2000 elections, American Dream PAC transferred $90,000 to the Maine, Delaware, Florida and Arkansas Republican parties. An additional $10,000 went to Texans Against Gerrymandering, a group set up by Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.) to purchase software and draft maps in connection with the GOP redistricting effort.
This is definitely a case of truth being stranger than fiction.
