GAO: Bush Administration acted improperly
The General Accounting Office issued a report today that "bluntly" criticized the agency that runs Medicare.
The GAO concluded that the advertisements run on about 40 television stations throughout the US to "analyze" the new Medicare laws were tantamount to "improper use of funds for 'publicity and propaganda'".
There are also accusations that the Bush Administration threatened to fire the Medicare chief actuary Richard Foster if he gave data to Congress outlining the costs of the proposed bill which was a controversial piece of legislation.
This is the "honor and integrity" crowd, folks.
