PUNDITGATE, CTD

Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard emails to say he got $50,000 a year from Enron, implying he was on the same board for more than a year. I’ve asked him to clarify. He adds: “I won’t rat out others on the ‘advisory board,'” and has “donated” the money for his daughter’s college tuition. Hold on a minute. If there’s nothing wrong with this, why does Bill use the word “rat”? Aren’t journalists supposed to be in favor of full disclosure of everything relevant to public matters of debate? I guess it’s one rule for pundits, another rule for everyone else.
