Judy's new gig,

But the most interesting part of the article is that it reported Judy's new gig, revealing that she is finally a full-fledged recipient of wingnut welfare.

Ms. Miller, a contributing editor to the Manhattan Institute's City Journal, is a writer based in New York.

The Manhattan Institute is dedicated to hawking free market solutions to all our problems. It is funded by wingnut sugar daddy foundations Koch Family Foundations, the John M. Olin Foundation, Inc., the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the Scaife Foundations, and the Smith Richardson Foundation, and corporate largesse from Bristol-Myers Squibb, Exxon Mobil, Chase Manhattan, Cigna, Sprint, Reliant Energy, Lincoln Financial Group Foundation, and Merill Lynch.

Don't get me wrong. I certainly assume that Judy has been sucking at the wingnut teat for some time, particularly when she was a speaker for Benador Associates. But now she should, presumably, have to list wingnut welfare as her primary employment. A pity, then, that Chris Matthews doesn't appear to have listed that affiliation when he called Judy a hero . The oversight is all the more troubling however, since Judy appears to have been hawking one of Manhattan Institute's pet projects, Policing Terrorism, and the entire Matthews appearance was basically a reiteration of an article Judy had done for a Manhattan Institute publication.

Judy's finally an explicit recipient of wingnut welfare. Doesn't Chris Matthews think such affiliations are worth mention?
