Radio talker Rush Limbaugh and political commentator Mary Matalin are off to tour Afghanistan on an administration sponsored tour. Both are friendly to the Bush administration in their commentaries.
An administration official says the trip is to highlight "all the good things" the US is doing in Afghanistan. But there's no word on how much this "outreach" will cost American taxpayers.
Mr Limbaugh hasn't spilled the beans on who is buying his ticket. Ms Matalin says she'll pay her way to and from Dubai, but will be on the taxpayer's tab while in country. Ms Matalin was a former White House aide, worked for Vice President Dick Cheney, and was the first President Bush's 1992 campaign manager. (Reuters)

This must be the newest incarnation of the paid publicity plan. As if Rush would actually go to Afghanistan on his own dime, just to tell us all about it.
