Where's DOGE when you need it?
The idea is fine, but there must be hundreds of marketing firms that would have gladly bid on making the video. (By the way, I flew out of Miami International this a.m. and for the first time in my last half dozen departures, I did NOT see a video clip of Noem while going through security. C-SPAN was on instead! Safe travels to all holiday travelers.)
If you are flying this time of year you are a better man than I!
Posting it for bid would have given dozens of USAID funded groups time to flood the airwaves with even more lies before this commercial even hit the splicing desk.
ProPublica breathlessly reports like this is the first time this has happened. The ad must have been too effective for their taste.

$220M that should never have been spent.
Even the idea isn’t fine.
Sorry, but I don’t care. Our legislators rake in billions of dollars from lobbyists and other special interest groups, and nobody raises an eyebrow. And I would be shocked if this very same thing didn’t occur with most political campaigns. When all of those crooks are exposed and prosecuted, then I’ll revisit the issue. Until then, you hire who you know.
Any story depending on reporting by ProPublica I immediately dismiss as tainted with TDS. I assume it is filled with falsehoods and innuendo but contains little in the way of facts.
SNORT.
“investigation by ProPublica”
OH WOW. It must be serious then.
I’m ignorant of ethics rules but wouldn’t that apply to elected politicians and not cabinet members?
