payolagate - Bu$h administration caught with pants down
This is now officially in the realm of ridiculous.
First we learned that Armstrong Williams had a $241,ooo contract from the government to promote No Child Left Behind. Then we found out that columnist Maggie Gallagher received $21,ooo of your tax dollars to talk up Bu$h's marriage initiatives. Today we learn that columnist Mike McManus has been paid $10,ooo to promote Bu$h's marriage initiatives.
All of these people did their government promotions without happening to mention that they were getting paid to promote these Bu$h programs.
Now let's think about this. Three people lost their jobs over Dan Rather's report which was basically a true report based on false evidence. No one lost their jobs after it came out that we went to war based on false evidence.
Now we have evidence that several columnists have been paid by the Bu$h administration to promote Bu$h's programs with taxpayers' money. And I have no doubt that there are many more people out there who also got money for prostituting themselves for this administration.
Any chance that any of those people will lose their jobs over this? Or, more importantly, that Bu$h or any of his employees might lose their jobs?
We all know that the Bu$h administration is seriously ethically challenged. (exhibit A: unprovoked war on Iraq; exhbit B: torture memo; etc...) What is it going to take for a president to get impeached for something other than consensual oral sex?
Maybe enough people realizing that Bu$h is screwing the country.

what, you didn't see the most recent White House press release?
According to WH press secretary, Scott McClellan, Clapton is no longer God. As of February 10, 2005, Bu$h is God. And He will do All Things Good for America, and Will Dispense with Silly Democratic Programs like Head Start and Food Stamps, and will Reward Hardworking Conservatives with Lower Taxes and Cake.
