Second Conservative pundit payed off by White House
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/01/012605gallagher.htm

(Washington) Syndicated conservative columnist Maggie Gallagher who testified before the Senate in support of a constitutional ban on gay marriage was paid by the Bush Administration it was revealed on Wednesday.

The Washington Post reports that Gallagher received more than $40,000 from the White House and from the Department of Health and Human Services to help promote the president's program promoting heterosexual marriage as a means of strengthening families. She neglected to mention she was on the Administration's payroll when she testified in 2003 before the Senate subcommittee on the Constitution

2. Al Franken
had a very funny take on this scandal --- a skit where he was calling some Bushie bureaucrat and offering to sell his "good name" for $249,999.99.

Really very funny. (I am an Al Franken, AAR, and Ed Schultz fan -- that's where I get my material).

I'm pretty sure the amount was 21.5K though

"But Gallagher failed to mention that she had a $21,500 contract with the Department of Health and Human Services to help promote the president's proposal. "

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38267-2005Jan26.html

On Edit: I see there was a 2nd pile of money for writing a "report"....


"Gallagher received an additional $20,000 from the Bush administration in 2002 and 2003 for writing a report, titled "Can Government Strengthen Marriage?", for a private organization called the National Fatherhood Initiative. "

At least SEX WHORES are honest about their work.
