Worth Repeating, Apparently

NP: The Cult, Pure Cult: The Singles 1984-1995

From today's New York Times (emphasis mine):

The disclosure about the arrangement [between commentator Armstrong Williams and the Department of Education] coincides with a decision by the Government Accountability Office that the administration had violated a law against unauthorized federal propaganda by distributing television news segments that promoted drug enforcement policies without identifying their origin. The accountability office made a similar ruling in May about news segments promoting Medicare policies, and the Drug Enforcement Agency stopped distributing the segments then.

So, the GAO has found that the administration has violated the law. Twice. Let that sort of wash over you a bit. How does that compare with getting a blow job in the Oval Office? Or does "moral values" trump "law-abiding behavior" by that much in the school of public opinion these days?
