With Bribes Like This, No Wonder He Got Elected!

Still trust those standard media?

"One day after President Bush ordered his Cabinet secretaries to stop hiring commentators to help promote administration initiatives [ha ha], and one day after the second high-profile conservative pundit was found to be on the federal payroll [shocking], a third embarrassing hire has emerged [who'd a thought? caught us all by complete surprise!]. Salon has confirmed that Michael McManus, a marriage advocate [one of those believers for whom marriage is a very shaky thing to begin with] whose syndicated column, "Ethics & Religion," [interesting, how they can be separated like that] appears in 50 newspapers, was hired as a subcontractor by the Department of Health and Human Services to foster a Bush-approved marriage initiative. McManus championed the plan in his columns without disclosing to readers he was being paid to help it succeed."

Guess the separation of ethics and religion makes it easy to lie.
