Sex Isn't the Only Thing for Sale in Washington (Ann Woolner)

[struggle4progress]

~snip~ Why stop with the Washington madam in our hunt for the illicit?

Consider, for example, Julie A. MacDonald, who, until her resignation this week, ran the Fish and Wildlife Service more for the benefit of industry than fish or wildlife.

MacDonald left amid complaints she gave internal documents to industry lawyers and lobbyists opposing federal protection for land and endangered species. And scientists have been saying for years that political appointees at the Interior Department forced them to rewrite scientific findings to make them friendlier to companies. ~snip~

The non-sexual form of prostitution is criminal only when carried to an extreme, of course. And yet, what these folks have been doing produces far more victims than has Palfrey, whatever service her women performed. ~snip~

1. I 'see' a list. Two columns. One one side we have -

a list of all the outings of names associated with secret 'massage' dates. The parallel side lists resignations, defenses, jail sentences for political heads and staff for secret 'messages' - parallel chronicle lists of shenenigans in and out of bedrooms and boardrooms.

2. I liked the comments she makes on further in the article:

Ultimate Boss. Now consider that President George W. Bush is the ultimate boss of the aforementioned public officials. You might call him their Palfrey....

Which of course makes Bush the ultimate Beltway Pimp....

3. That's what I'm talkin' about!

Forget about sex..there are worse forms of prostitution like selling out your country and enabling the deceiver to bloodbath Iraq with our Blood and Treasure.

Corporatemediawhores are getting away with treason while the D.C Madam is being investigated.

Better start INVESTIGATING the USA mediaconglomerate before we're all in chains.
