Blogs Against Kleptocracy - The Wages of Sin

Taking nothing away from the Unconventional Conventionist's excellent post on retroactive immunity for the telcos—and while we're waiting for the House of Representatives to cave to the administration on the issue—we should take note of the fact that the whores at AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint have already been paid for servicing Bu$hCo.

Indeed, whether to help the telcos mitigate the financial danger of class action lawsuits or simply as a "Thank you for helping us f*ck the American people," cooperative companies watched their federal contract income skyrocket in 2007, up to $1.3B in Sprint's case. Whereas non-cooperative telcos, Qwest for example, watched their federal contract income drop by 100's of millions of dollars.

Apparently the Bush Administration has now even monetized trashing the Constitution.
