The White House has made thousands of political appointees eligible for annual bonuses of as much as $25,000. Bush announced the directive last week but made the decision in March, and has apparently been doling out the dough ever since. To do so, Bush lifted a ban on civil service bonuses imposed by President Clinton in 1994 amid questions about bonuses given to advisers by Bush's father, President Bush.
I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN THIS!
