One more media whore

Proving once again that Republicans have to pay for it: Writer Backing Bush Plan Had Gotten Federal Contract (The Washington Post / 26 Jan 2005)
In 2002, syndicated columnist Maggie Gallagher repeatedly defended President Bush's push for a $300 million initiative encouraging marriage as a way of strengthening families. ...
You (or at least I) always wonder how or why any columnists can be stupid enough to fall for these idiotic Bush Regime schemes ($300 million to encourage marriage??). But maybe none of them do ... as the Post article continues ...
...But Gallagher failed to mention that she had a $21,500 contract with the Department of Health and Human Services to help promote the president's proposal...
Oh.

If someone in the Bush Regime were to give me $21,500 I might (MIGHT) stop referring to them as murderers and torturers.

Hint hint.

I might even start calling it "The Bush Administration" rather than a Regime.

But, as everyone on the Right will tell you, all liberal bloggers and websites are already being financially supported by George Soros and Fidel Castro (and very handsomely, if you don't mind my bragging), so never mind.

Just for the record, I'm glad to have beaten Maureen Dowd to the punch on this one : Her "Love for Sale" column in today's Times is only a little more polite than my use of the 'ho word yesterday. But her solicitation of payment from the Bushies is in the same vein.
We need to ask every rightwing columnist and blogger, "How much are they paying you????
