Richard Moore is definitely on the bad side of the Eagles.
First, he ran a YouTube ad attacking rival Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beverly Perdue which used an unauthorized snippet of "Life in the Fast Lane."
He had to pull the video after the manager of the Eagles learned about it.
Now, Perdue's spokesman, David Kochman, tells Dome that they recently received in the mail two $4,000 checks—the maximum donation allowed under state law.
The donors? Don Henley and his wife, Sharon.
"I think his decision to contribute may be a reflection on how he felt about Moore's video," Kochman said.
Henley is a generous Democratic donor. According to a Washington Post article from earlier this month, he's given more than $686,000 to candidates since 1978.

Re: The end of the innocence
Let's hope Don and Sharon Henley don't get so put out with some of the political campaigns out in Sacramento that they decide they'll have to raise the room rates at the "Hotel California."
