Last week, the story broke that the Department of Education secretly paid pundit Armstrong Williams $240,000 to promote Bush's No Child Left Behind program. The news came when the White House had just been found to have used secret propaganda in the promotion of its national drug control policy. Torture in Iraq, lies about WMD, manipulation over Social Security, complete disregard for reality in the war on terror. That's the Bush way.
