Columnist George Will's wife recently signed on as an adviser to Texas governor Rick Perry, a campaign spokesman confirmed today.

Will's wife, Mari Maseng -- a former communications director to both Ronald Reagan and Bob Dole -- started working for the campaign more than a week ago and helped Perry prepare for his most recent disastrous debate performance. Will, who has made no secret of his distaste for Perry rival Mitt Romney, plans to disclose the connection this Sunday on ABC and in future Washington Post columns, according to Post editor Fred Hiatt.

And there is some confusion over Maseng’s status: Both Hiatt and Washington Post Writer Group editor Alan Scherer say that when Will informed them of Maseng’s role, he said it was unpaid. However, Miner told us that this was a paid position. Will did not return more than half-a-dozen calls.

4. Pretty much the entire WaPo opinion page is working for the Republican Party.

It's been a 30 year conflict of interest for George and his 'objective' conservative opinion.

5. Guess there is no point in stealing a debate book
