Idiots.
Drudge is reporting that Maggie Gallagher was paid by the Bush administration to talk up a ban on gay marriage. I am distressed.
Update: I may have been too hard on Maggie, as it seems she is not pulling an Armstrong Williams.

Hmm maybe that's why Peggy Noonan is being mean to Bush. Her contract has not been renewed.
This is a disgrace, reflecting no honor on a "conservative" adminsitration or "conservative" activists and is a violation of public trust and the public's money.

Posted by: Karol at January 26, 2005 09:51 AMTo see the fall of the insufferable gay-basher Gallagher gives me much happiness. The only thing better would be if she turned out to be a lesbian.
Posted by: Steve at January 26, 2005 10:07 AMAs an FYI, she was not paid to promote marriage. HHS paid her to produce a report on marriage, Ms. Gallagher being an expert on the subject.
Armstrong Williams was paid to promote NCLB.
Very different situations.

Posted by: daniel at January 26, 2005 02:24 PMYeah, Armstrong Williams bad, Maggie Gallagher not so much.
Of course, it will still be trumpeted by the MSM...
Posted by: Jay at January 26, 2005 03:12 PMUh oh...guess who consulted on the president's inaguration speech and then went out of their way to praise it.

Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer. Were they paid ?
Bloodiest day in Iraq, 4 leading officials of AIPAC subponead on 12-01-04, and now this. Not the best of time for the neocons.
Bush has ordered Cabinet members to stop funding columnists. Let's follow the money and disclose who else is on the payroll.
Posted by: Von Bek at January 26, 2005 04:38 PMI think those "bloodiest day in Iraq" headlines are a bit misleading. Just going on that alone, you'd think there was a major attack when it was really just a helicopter crash. Still tragic, but they could've phrased it differently.
