Armstrong Williams Flap

Despite the unseemliness and unsavoriness of it all, it's hard to get too irate about Armstrong Williams accepting taxpayer money for his opinion, when so many other media whores are trolling the streets, and when Fox News knuckles under to Republican interests of every stripe. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if half the pundits on TV got paid by government agents for their opinion. That's the way things were done in nineteenth century France, and given the predilection of the Bush Administration to use every advantage to its favor, legal or not, we are bound to see a lot more of this kind of manipulation.
