The Bribery Nation...

Recipent of Federal payola and conservative commentator Maggie Gallagher asserted on the "O'Reilly Factor" last night that she is held to a double standard as many of her pundit critics are themselves college professors and the like on the side.
Maybe so Maggie, but they aren't taking money from the Government they are supposed to be reporting on in a fair and balanced fascion...and if they are, they are obligated to disclose the relationship.
Its a question of character, ethics, morals and blah blah blah...
Maggie just doesn't get that, she displayed no remorse at all last night-her only emotion was a vague sort of baffled anger that she'd been found out. The ironic part is, Maggie was caught whoring her opinions for sheer chump change some forty thousand bucks all told, that doesn't even buy a decent ride anymore at the Cato Institute. The money is some type of indicator of her place on the conservative pundit food chain. Meanwhile,O'Reilly humorless, pompous,and more than a bit dim, merely grunted his assent at Gallagher's preposterous explanation like a good pseudoproletarian.
Nevertheless, there are more columnists on the take, third tier provincials, follow the money sez Humble Elias. Ultimately, the thing to remember about Maggie Gallagher is that she is a yap, and a corrrupt one at that. Her sense of entitlement (a key characteristic of today's third way conservatives) now apparently extends to outright Federal bribery. No doubt we would not have to go far back into her bibliography to find her railing against welfare payments to the poor, the unlucky, and the infirm...they don't deserve it, Maggie does.

Sick
Demented
Typical!
