Caught on Tape - Draft Dodging Georgia Senator Selling Ambassadorship


Yahoo News AP -- Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss thought he was chatting privately with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist when he asked for help in securing an appointment for a rich GOP donor who raised "a chunk of money for me."

Little did he know Frist had allowed a reporter to listen in and his story would spark allegations by Democrats that the two GOP lawmakers were "selling ambassadorships to the highest bidder."

Care of BuzzFlash and others. Of course, this is not restricted to the GOP, ambassadorships are how contributers are rewarded by both parties. Usually not as obviously.
