You think Bush is expecting some kind of payola? I bash Bush regularly, but it's never occurred to me that he might be corrupt. Naive and misguided, yes, but I'm not ready to cross that bridge.

Payola... such a nasty word. Today it's called "considerations". When GWB gets out of office, he will sit on boards of directors. He will be offered very well paying speaking engagements. He will be offered stock in corporations. And a whole host of things I can't even imagine.
All respectable. All untraceable as being "payola".
Why else would someone spend $30 million to get a job that pays $400k a year?
I may be cynical, but cynics can be right too.
