What salary is she on? Do you think this might be where a lot of the money is going, David? 'So, tell me again about how these people are going to usher in a new era of ethical politics.' Ah - so it's not corruption per se that bothers you - otherwise we'd see you ranting about Bush, Cheney and all their oil and big business buddies. What bothers you is people who pretend they're not corrupt. And of course the case for corruption here is far fetched - as the story makes clear she wasn't involved in the selection process, and there's nothing illegal about alerting anyone to an open bidding process. ‘Michelle Obama is employed by the University of Chicago Medical Center, which gave her a promotion and a $200K raise’
