Oh oh! Bush Administration connection to Conrad Black's case?
From Thinkprogress:
Black is currently on trial in Chicago for fraud and racketeering. Prosecutors allege he and three co-defendants stole $60 million from his former company, Hollinger Inc. Former Bush speechwriter David Frum has publicly defended Black against the charges. But Harper’s Ken Silverstein reports that between September and December 2000, Frum received $16,667 a month from Hollinger, an arrangement he has failed to disclose. Frum said he feels no need to reveal the payments when defending Black because disclosures “can easily become silly and pedantic.”

Hmmm, $16k+ I think is about what one Wal-mart employee makes in a year. It comes out to $7.70 per hour x 40 hours a week x 52 weeks.
Why don't take everyone salary in the WH under the Gerbil's payroll. They will always top Walmart employees. And the CEO Lee Scott of Walmart makes 20 million. Not bad for a CEO!
