I don't think the stories are equivalent, though. Do you? Had Armstrong, like Kos, disclosed the relationship at the time that he had taken took the money, his story would be far different, and probably wouldn't even have been illegal.
Of course, this would've meant that he'd have had to interrupt the VP mid-rant about the nonobjectivity of the fucking MSM, so I can understand how that might have been, you know, awkward.

To both you and Ty.
The only difference I see is that tax payor money was used by the administration, which clealy makes it a much worse offense on the part of the administration, but does not really effect the fault of the "journalist." The fact that Kos disclosed this is a step in the right direction, but frankly, for that disclosure to be effective it should be reiterated in any piece he writes about Dean.
The larger point is that this seems to be more than an isolated event. I don't believe for a second that Kos, Williams, and the other blogger paid by Dean are alone in this.
