Our news media asleep at the wheel... again

newsBy Kevin Drum:

Giuliani left the Iraq Study Group last May after just two months, walking away from a chance to make up for his lack of foreign policy credentials on the top issue in the 2008 race, the Iraq war.

He cited "previous time commitments" in a letter explaining his decision to quit, and a look at his schedule suggests why — the sessions at times conflicted with Giuliani's lucrative speaking tour that garnered him $11.4 million in 14 months.

Amazing. This has been common knowledge for months, but this is the first time I've heard about it. For some reason, the mainstream press apparently thinks this decision from America's Mayor is hardly even worth a yawn. Too substantive, I guess. Back to the haircuts and blind trusts, boys and girls.


Comments:
Sad to say, he has his priorities straight. If you really want to be POTUS these days you gots to be shakin' down the dosh. You can't actually be doing anything of any real substance.

Yet another reason for publically funded campaigns.
