THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS (Michelle Malkin tells of a THIRD Columnist paid by the Administration)

If only three people were paid for the President's PR, then they must have been the three best people available.
It is probably pretty difficult to find a good PR person who has conservative leanings. And somebody still finds something to complain about. The left is so intent on silencing conservatives there is absolutely nothing a conservative can say or do that is not treated with repression.
The spreading of the wealth (3 people vs: thousands) is this; If the three people succeed in promoting the agenda, (say social Security reform)then thousands, I should say, millions of people will potentially benefit. WE don't have to all realize immediate profit to ultimately share the wealth.

We are in very different times than the times of FDR, that you brought up as comparison. But presenting the truth is still a virtue of a good President. As long as President Bush accomplishes that, I still have no problem.

You know what this is going to be right? This will turn into the "major second term scandal" that everyone keeps talking about.

If this is the best that the Left can do, I say let them go ahead and knock themselves out with it.  The only thing that it will accomplish is reinforcing what thoughtful people know already....that being that the Dems/Left/MSM have NOTHING in the way of a vision for their party or any form of positive message for the future of the country.  All they have is name-calling, character assassination, juvenile hysteria and making mountains out of molehills.  Zell had it right of course....they're a national party no more.

Oh, this wasn't even public relations, the second two were experts that were hired for a specific purpose, not to promote policy in the media. The Democrats are trying to pull a fast one like they did with campaign financing.

I don't care which party it is, I don't like it. I support the president and most of his decisions, but I will not try to rationalize something that we would be crying "Big Brother" about if it were the other party. He can use the bully pulpit to get his message across, like Reagan and Clinton did.
