GOP Candidate to Succeed Duke Cunningham Falsified Evidence of Media Bias Against Iraq War
Before he was disgraced today by liberal bloggers, you had probably never heard of Howard Kaloogian. But here in California he is a notorious GOP operative who made his mark in the 2003 campaign to unseat Gov. Gray Davis.
Kaloogian said the […]

This is separate from the sentences he’ll receive for bribing Ohio Republican congressman Bob Ney and possibly Tom DeLay and others:
Disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff and a business partner were sentenced Wednesday to five years and 10 months in federal prison, the minimum they faced for fraud related to their 2000 purchase of […]

This series of informal meetings follows the infusion of several new (read: naive) reporters from major news outlets into the White House beat.

The White House press corps spent the first term of the Bush presidency in nearly complete deference to George W. Bush.
