Remember Kenneth Tomlinson? He of the (failed) attempt to turn PBS into another platform for right-wing shilling? Like we don't have enough of those already?
K-Tom, as I propose we call him, was ousted from his "job" as chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting last year, but landed softly, scoring a White House-appointed gig in public diplomacy. His duties include running the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe.
He just got busted, again, for cronyism and corruption. The lede in a story from the NYTimes:
State Department investigators have found that the head of the agency overseeing most government broadcasts to foreign countries has used his office to run a "horse racing operation" and that he improperly put a friend on the payroll ...
Tomlinson's defense, in part:
He also said he spent more time on broadcasting responsibilities at his farm and residences than he spent on his horses at the office.
Heckuva job.
What is it with all of these Bush guys and their love for horse manure?
