And three makes a trend.
One day after President Bush ordered his Cabinet secretaries to stop
hiring commentators to help promote administration initiatives, and
one day after the second high-profile conservative pundit was found to
be on the federal payroll, a third embarrassing hire has emerged.
Salon has confirmed that Michael McManus, a marriage advocate whose
syndicated column, "Ethics & Religion," 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.

You'd think even the Limbaugh-tomized masses might have second thoughts
about all their opinion-shapers spewing their propaganda only at a
negotiated price. Rush probably worked a trade-out with the OxyContin
people. O'Reilly, the loofa sponge folks.
Coulter? At least we know she doesn't "tell lies for food."
But imagine what her Ipecac bills must run to.
