Porkulus at work: White House bought “Green” program ads on MSNBC
The Obama administration paid a PR firm nearly $500,000 in stimulus funds to run a barrage of ads on White House-friendly cable programs promoting its green job training program.
According to government records, the Labor Department paid the money in late 2009 to a company that negotiated a media buy on MSNBC’s “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” and “The Rachel Maddow Show.” The ad was set to run more than 100 times — 14 times a week for two months.
Now that Betty McCollum has rid the nation of the scourge of Army ads in NASCAR, this might be another legislative accomplishment!
That’ll make two for her entire 12 year career!
If she does anything.
Didn’t your radio partner, Ed Morrissey, uncover something like this a few years ago…

No sense in getting elected unless you can hand out money to those who supported you and shaft your opponents supporters.
