Leaked Salary List Shows Bush's Highest-Paid Staff Is Mostly Male

[onehandle]

The president's men are doing very well. The president's women are doing slightly less well, but still not bad.

With new White House salary figures leaked to The Washington Post and an Excel spreadsheet, crack researcher Margot Williams determined that men in the Bush White House earn an average of $76,624 a year. Women earn $59,917 on average. That means Bush women earn about 78 percent of what Bush men earn.

1. I'm sure they *deserve* less

After all, they probably had babies, aren't as committed to their careers, or don't spend as much time in the office. :eyes:

[Skidmore]

2. Who leaked?

Someone must be disgruntled.

3. don't be silly. this is rove's way of saying that women and men are equal

in the bush camp. but keep in mind... none of the women stand to reap the millions per year once they get out that the men do, after working their dirty behind-the-scenes deals.

4. If women are paid 78 percent less

how do you figure that's EQUAL? :shrug:

[LittleApple81]

11. not 78% less... they are paid 22% less. n/t

[prolesunited]

14. You're right

I stated that incorrectly. Still stands that they are paid less, which is NOT equal.

5. This should be public information if it isn't already.

6. Thats another reason Women marched in the largest March on DC

EVER

women will overwhelmingly vote against the CHIMP






GET BUSH OUT OF OUR WHITE HOUSE!

7. Hmmmm. I wonder who leaked this. Deep Throatress?

8. Clearly intended to secure his "base"

AKA the promisekeepers.

9. Nazis CELEBRATE the unfairness of life

These Nazis similar to the originals in all but violence and overt racism.

[LiberalBushFan]

10. Boo hoo

So one type of Nazi earns less than another type of Nazi.

12. Hmmm...

"One 'ethics adviser,' for example, earns $124,166 and another earns $31,277."

They're both overpaid, if you ask me.

[daleo]

13. One gives the answer they want to hear.

The other hasn't caught on yet.

[LiberalFighter]

17. I agree...

trying to figure out which is correct...

Condi Rice is paid too much (no matter how much it is)
or they all are paid too much

Where would women be in comparison to men if Rice was paid considerably less (meaning what she is really worth)?

[MercutioATC]

15. Isn't that pretty much in line with the private sector discrepancy?

[onehandle]

16. Yes, but the President's staff should set a example.

What is said here is that the President likes "broads" right where they are.
