"Yassah, I sell No Chile Left Behind fo' ya, Massah Bush." -- Armstrong Williams

Bushonian Shill Armstrong Williams was paid $240,000 to promote the notorious No Child Regime Left Behind law by the Department of Education, reports USA Today.

This is propaganda paid for with OUR TAX DOLLARS!

Should he go to jail? And does anyone know what charges he could be brought up on?

[LiberalVoice]

1. If he should...

so should Bush for paying him to do it!

[goodboy]

5. You'll find no argument from me.

[goodboy]

2. Propaganda is illegal...I hope they throw this uncle tom into the briar

patch.

[Bluebear]

3. I tend to put the blame on the payer in this case

Oh, George? How many other media shills are on the take?

4. Bush should go to jail

Williams shouldn't have to go to jail for something illegal the Bushists did.

[Kber]

7. I agree

It looks like Williams may be outing himself to some extent - or at least providing new details. I'd like to see a special prosicutor offer immunity to any journalist willing to come clean about his / her payoffs from the administration.

At least to get the ball rolling.

6. The spender, not spendee, should be jailed

This was a waste of taxpayer money. The person who spent it is the culprit. That guy performed a service (odious as it was) for compensation

10. He should know the law, and he should've know it was illegal.

8. Bush

Should go to jail .That is our money he spent.

[Old Mouse]

9. If you claim someone needs to go to jail

and only then search for an actual crime committed...

[goodboy]

11. yeah?

could you complete your thought?

[gratuitous]

13. Just following the lead of the Bush Justice Department

Which is looking for a way to lock people up indefinitely without charge or access to the court system.

Anyway, I don't think Walletfat Williams should be tossed in the clink. I just want to see every commentator on every show asked first and upfront, "So, who's paying you to say this?" And no discussion ensues until we have full disclosure of who's lining their pockets.

[bullimiami]

12. yes and those who bribed his with our money should as well.

[dogtag]

14. Yep. If we can send folks to jail these days for simply being

scum sucking pigs, Armstrong surely qualifies. He is a consistently odious, smarmy, ill informed, wrong headed pontificater of extreme right wing malodorous crap who brings zero to any conversation.

Since he is no longer the only black republican ass wipe to grace the airwaves, his presence may no longer be sought after by our esteemed MSM. He won't be missed.

Buh-bye, I hope.

15. Right behind...pigboy!

America would be better off with those hatemongers in the hoosegow!
