Remember the guy who said repukes should have paid the way for tie-dye and birkenstock wearing liberals to be human shields in Iraq? Well, here he is again, acting like his crony old Bushyman!!
Reno journalist received $8,000 for consulting work last year
LV-Rep. Jim Gibbons paid a veteran TV reporter $8,000 for consulting last year while she worked as a freelance reporter for a Reno radio station, according to campaign finance reports.
A Federal Election Commission report filed by Gibbons, R-Nev., lists the payment to Andrea Engleman on Nov. 30, 2004, just weeks after she had been fired as co-host of the television news program Nevada Newsmakers. At the time the contract was in effect, she said, she was compiling reports for KOH-AM, 780 in Reno.
Gibbons' spokeswoman, Amy Spanbauer, said Engleman was hired to conduct post-election analysis for the congressman.
"It was our understanding that she was not contracting with any media at the time," Spanbauer said.
Spanbauer said Engleman performed the work in December and has not done any work since. However, she said, future consulting work is a possibility.
"It depends on what she does with her career," Spanbauer said.
