PROHIBITING PUNDIT PAYOLA

Frank Lautenberg has been great since his return to the Senate in 2002. He and Ted Kennedy are reacting to the Bush payoffs of pundits with the "Stop Government Propaganda Act." Even if they don't get enough Republicans to pass it (and I can't say how effective an act it would be in practice), they are putting the GOP in the position of defending deceit (instead of simply committing it).
