#1 I believe the old punch line is - we know what you are, we're just negotiating the price.

#2 I liked one of the points Stacy made: Malaysia. Malaysia? Malaysia?? Why on earth would they threw big money around to bloggers few had ever heard of to influence the American people about a country 99% of Americans couldn't find on a map?

#3 The point isn't that they took money from an obscure foreign government to tout some issue. The point is that this isn't just an ethical lapse. The point is that this is a smoking, gaping hole where ethics once were.

#4 I agree with that. I just wonder what in the world the Malaysian government bigs were thinking -- spread half a million around and get what, exactly?

One of the several lessons here is to demonstrate (once again) how cheaply people will sell out.

#5 Well this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Malaysia is so far away maybe they thought it wouldn't matter? I can see how they might think that. In 2011 the elections were already in full swing. Hell with the Constant Campaign of the last 5 years who the hell would notice something like this eh? Makes me shudder in repulsion the same way I did when I read about those damnable "Consultants" for Romney.

#6 Stay on it, Chris Covert. It's an important story that we're not getting anywhere else.
