$400,000 for a couple phone calls.

Awww.... This is just disgusting.
A former top official in the White House's faith-based office was awarded a lucrative Department of Justice grant under pressure from two senior Bush administration appointees....

The grant was $1.2 million, $400,000 of which went to Lisa Trevino Cummins who basically got paid because she could get "two senior Bush administration appointees" to force this through. There are more grants in question.

  • Yeah. They're more concerned with positioning legislation to make Obama look good and McCain look bad.

    (And I'm still of the belief that some of this stuff is being bartered behind the scenes. We won't go after X too hard if you.....)

  • No, they're not. They may nail some small fish, but real admin figures are untouchable.

    Bush would pardon them anyhow.
