is fine because Howard Dean's camp paid KOS to pump him up on his blog? That per O'Reilly tonight. Please tell me this ain't true and please somebody go after O'Reilly for these f*&king lies.

10. There are two main theories at dailykos.com
1) Zephyr Teachout is a good person who wrote about blogging ethics for a journalism conference, and Wall St. Journal reporters saw her post and ran with it. 2) Zephyr Teachout is a not-so-good person who wanted publicity, and she saw the Armstrong Williams issue as a good way to get it.

Bush paid big bucks, with tax payer monies to prostitute Armstrong.

11. They were told they were being paid for technical advice.
And the mydd.com guy tooka hiatus from blogging. And kos disclosed that he was working for Howard Dean on the top-left of his blog at the time.

14. Different person doing the paying
If a private individual or organization wants to spend their money that way, that's their call. If the government wants to spend money on propaganda that's illegal.
