The chief editorial writer at the Wall Street Journal, the paper which disparaged two progressive blogs over accepting money from Howard Dean’s campaign, serves on President Bush’s fellowship board with Armstrong Williams, RAW STORY has learned. He is also being hired as chief speechwriter for the Bush Administration.
William McGurn, chief editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal serves with fallen columnist Armstrong Williams on the President’s Commission on White House Fellowships.
Williams was surreptitiously paid $240,000 by the Bush Education Department to promote the president’s ‘No Child Left Behind’ law, and was subsequently dismissed by the distributor of his column.
As a member of the Journal’s editorial board, McGurn has boasted of having “solicited and edited op-eds for the Wall Street Journal on three continents.” Williams was an occasional guest columnist with the Journal, though the paper did not syndicate his regular column.
