It's indefensible, though that won't stop some people from defending it.

Armstrong Williams on O'Reilly now. According to him, he was contacted by a PR firm hired by DOE to run ads for the NCLB Act featuring Rod Paige. That is what the money was for. His advocacy was separate from the ads.

He says that if he had it to do over again, he would not take the money for the ads, because of the appearance. He also says he has lost his Chicago Tribune syndication contract because of this.

Seems like an honest mistake to me, if what Williams says is true.

Now I would ask why the MSM isn't outraged by Paul Krugman's taking money from Enron while writing columns for the New York Times promoting that corporation?

I was PO'd about this earlier today, but now that I have additional information I am not so sure.
