Not that I'll ever have a chance to prove it

The idea of taking money to flack for some candidate or government program seems strange to me. If it was for something I already approve of as with Armstrong Williams or posibly with Kos, it seem like getting paid to tell the truth. It would make me intensely uncomfortable and guilt-ridden. If it was for something I didn't approve of, I don't think I could do it. Ads on a website are one thing, but what you portray as your opinion should be only that. A lot of celebrities endorse products for money, but that's why I give their endorsements so little weight. It's so much easier to be sincere when there's a packet of cash in it for you.

That's one reason why I read Kos one time and concluded that his blog was a waste of time. He's a political consultant for Democrats. Why should I read his opinion any more than I'd read a blog by James Carville? That would be like recording political ads and watching them for the news.
