War Is Sell

The Bush administration admitted it paid $240,000 to Armstrong Williams, a Los Angeles radio talk host, to promote No Child Left Behind. If they would use taxpayers' money to do that, wouldn't they use payola to push another of their unpopular programs, such as war?

Think about that when you turn on the radio and hear the orchestra. Rush Limbaugh: "We lose more lives on the highway than in Iraq." Michael Savage: "Let's nuke 'em." Sean Hannity: "War saves lives."

War is sell, and so is peace.
