Big Donors Get Appointed to Be Ambassadors? Stop the Presses!

The AP is running a story about how "pioneers" -- big donors to the first Bush campaign in 2000 -- got appointed to be ambassadors. The only response to this kind of faux outrage is Captain Renault's from Casablanca: "I'm shocked, shocked to find that politics is going on in Washington."

Meanwhile, a Marc Rich, a felon who was pardoned by President Clinton in the last week of his Presidency, gave millions for the Clinton Library. AP? Is that a "news story"?

As Howard Dean said, "Yeaaarrrggggggghhhhhh!"
