I Stand Corrected
Tom Giovanetti, of the Institute for Policy Innovation comments on my earlier post about policy wonks for sale:
The article in BusinessWeek that started this whole thing, upon which all subsequent articles and Paul Krugman's commentary are based, omitted important statements and resulted in a complete misrepresentation. All subsequent who have written on this topic are guilty of passing on misrepresentation without bothering to fact-check. You can view IPI's and Ferrara's statements at www.ipi.org I stand corrected. Ferrara never wrote an article for Abramoff under the IPI masthead. He previously was supported by Abramoff. |

So, he's a reformed whore, but not a practicing whore.
From his statement on the IPI website.
I am glad to ask people to contribute to my work if they agree with what I have been writing for years now and want to support it. That is what I was referring to in the quote in this regard in the BusinessWeek Online article.
Or according to his statement, he only takes money from those who agree with what he already is supporting. So he's less like a whore and more like a stripper, he doesn't start the pole dance for money, but lets the patrons shove the bills in his g-string. One wonders why he climbed on the pole in the first place. Does he really believe the pole-dance is for the common good or does he know that dancing on the pole will lead to g-string schwag.
