#1 scandal du jour at the Washington Post - they allowed opinion articles (as a panelist and blogger for the Washington Post 'On Leadership' website) by one of those upaid WH employees without disclosing: Patricia G. McGinnis, Advisor to the Obama White House on leadership programs for Presidential Appointees

Journalistic ethics? We don't need that, right, Dave Weigel?

#2 "Journalistic ethics"

That's become an oxymoron in the last couple of decades, Frank.

With the emphasis on the moron.

#4 Meh, peanuts. The original dollar-a-year men were fabulously corrupt self-dealing dicks. It's not the salaries that are the scandal - the peculiarity of the situation is that WH staffers can't make more than the president and the presidential salary is fairly low by CEO standards - it's the power abuses and future lobbying paydays they're setting themselves up for that really will reek.
