Conservative Payola...

The Globe reports today that Mitt Romney's so called charitable foundation "The Tyler Trust" has give $25K apiece to the right wing Heritage Foundation and the even more right wing Federalist Society.
Apparently, there are horrible little rightical lawyers, blonde Fox News Fembot wannabees and nasty college republican interns who are living at the "Y" and eating spaghetti-ohs for dinner.
Mitt's heart was moved to pity.
And if this buys the goodwill of a few beltway types in the process so much the better.
Of course, that charitable trust's money is supposed to go for good works, new stained glass windows at a rural church, a new stove at the county poor house that sort of thing....but this is Mitt Romney we are talking about. Like any other modern conservative he'll happily alter the definition of "charity" to fit his carnal ambition for higher office in the blink of an eye.
