Did anyone catch the GOP Strategist on Tucker who admitted buying bloggers?
I can't remember his name nor can I find the video.

Anywho, it was Tuesday night that this guy was on. Tucker was talking to him about campaign expenditures and what you do or do not have to disclose. And Tucker asks him, hypothetically speaking, whether if you bought a blogger for $75,000 you'd have to disclose that.

The guy answers "Yes you would have to disclose that as "Blogger: $75,000", and adds "By the way, Tucker, I can tell you that if you're paying $75,000, you're paying too much". *wink, nod*

Even Tucker was taken aback.

Did anybody else catch this? If so do you remember is name or know where I can find a video? It was sickening, so of course I'd like to see it again, lol.

5. Clinton's use of bloggers
When Clinton is president the government will have bloggers, just like Ariana Huffington. Except they'll be paid. http://www.lasvegasgleaner.com

You know, one could kind of view this as a "bribe" (the promise of a future well paid job) for positive coverage/support.
