he is on CNN right now and took full responsibility for his actions and said he was wrong in taking the funds....what a stand up guy....he said it was his fault, not the admin of anyone else and though not illegal, it was probably unwise....very nice and gutsy for him to say it.....you don't find Dems doing acknowledging stuff like this or being honest stand up people.....at least in general

He's a stand-up guy alright, but this was probably a poor decision. Political commentators should either make their financial obligations clear (like when they are clearly pushing a product) or not take them at all. But I'm not shocked to see government hire people to publicize something. It' called PR and its legit.

Nice of him to take the fall and all that, but how can it be his fault while not being the fault of whoever paid him off? This could get embarassing and doesn't help advance our agenda at all, especially if it was policy and not some isolated act of stupidity by a lower level functionary. I hope it was the former and not the latter.

What a stand up guy --- now that he's been caught.
