According to Limbaugh today, it's the same guy (now at SeeBS) that pushed Clinton last year.
I can see nothing but legal problems for *ANY* publicly traded company would pay up front for Clinton, *ANY* money
management firm bought/held the stock in such a company, *ANY* insurance company that held the policies on the
directors, AND *ANY* advertisers.
A bonehead move of this type would disprove the saying about any publicity is good publicity.
That's not to mention the grief the FCC would suffer. (Would take the heat of WNEW...)
The reasons you mentioned above, combined with the damage that a Clinton gig wreaked on that financial firm alone would demand a psych and SEC exam of any executive that would waste corporate assets on a dubious endeavor.
Such incompetence would demand an immediate end to the ability of that corporate entity to hold public broadcast licenses.
I would have much less of a problem IF the compensation is based on advertising revenue. It would still be a
problem if a Clinton program could not equal the revenue from the previous show in that time slot.
