Hey, Snotty and Chimpy, "some" say that catapulting the propaganda on America is illegal.

(May 15, 2008) -- Once upon a time, it was widely believed that one of the greatest sins the U.S. government or its temporary political masters could commit was to turn a propaganda machine loose on the American people.

Congress viewed this so seriously that every appropriations bill passed since 1951 has contained language that says no public money "shall be used for publicity or propaganda purposes within the United States" without the lawmakers' prior approval.

The Bush administration has been caught violating the propaganda ban before, notably in 2005 in the case of radio host Armstrong Williams, who was paid to endorse President Bush's No Child Left Behind law.

There's little doubt that this program violated the laws against covert propaganda operations mounted against the American public by their own government. But in this administration, there's no one left to enforce that law or any of the other laws the Bush operatives have been busy violating.

Now, watch the media put the screws to Snotty Scotty. "We couldn't get any information out of Scotty. He stood up there and repeated the lies. We didn't do anything wrong" GE Russert and friends (David Gregory) have already begun this morning. The media is complicit. Don't ever forget it. They know it was illegal. And they did it anyway, for their precious "access".
