Fox Paid $14,000 For DeLay Appearance

By Vince Leibowitz

Fox News paid $14,000 for Tom DeLay to appear on Fox News Sunday in an 'exclusive' interview on October 2, four days after his indictment. The Statesman has more.

Am I the only one who thought public officials appeared on these shows for free?

It'd be nice to think that. But surely you don't think this paid appearance is confined to Tom Delay or the Republican Party do you?

It is usually free except for the hotel room and transportation. Politicians love to get on these shows and I don't recall when any politician was paid thousands of dollars.

Fox has never paid me to be on their shows!

okay, let's say you'd like to learn about an actual political campaign to impeach the president ...

ah, none of this noise about a yearning for somebody to go do it ...

in addition, you'd like to learn about a game plan to snag Osama ...

if all the above meets with your approval, then click, somehow, on the following hyperlink:

and get ready for a ride on a wild blog

.he who is known as sefton

oh, yes, the above was copied and then pasted by an actual human being, who visited this blog.

oh, one more thing, keep an eye on Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District ... I'm trying to base my campaign on the three planks I nailed together in my platform ... "impeach bush" is the first plank ... the second is "impeach bush" ... and the third is like the second, "impeach bush".
