What business did Limbaugh have in Afghanistan ?

[kentuck]

The elite propagandist of our time, proseltyzing to the troops. Their enemies, when they return home, will be the Democrats and the liberals, he told them in no uncertain terms. Who permitted this imbecilic hoghead the power to do this? This should be investigated. It is a crime. The troops do not need to hear his partisan bullshit.

10. The key smoking gun, WHO PAID FOR THIS?

The media is missing yet another Payola/Propaganda story. Rush's "visit" was "arranged" by USAID, a U.S. Government agency. http://www.usaid.gov/about_usaid/

<snip>The administrator of USAID is anxious to get that message out to the American public about our successful programming ... on democracy building, improved health care, improved access to education for women and children<snip>

So they pay a wingnut to "get the message out" with my money???? This should be a story getting more, ANY, coverage.

<snip>"Just so you know, I am paying for the trip. I'm paying my way over there and back. I'm reimbursing when possible."<snip>

What the fuck does that mean?
