Badgering the Witless

Huh. I thought "Ask the White House" was a feature only of whitehouse.org. Apparently the "real" administration does it too... and today's guest is Doug Badger, the Medicare functionary who apparently was at the center of the Bush administration's effort to mislead Congress about the cost of the prescription drug benefit that passed last year by one vote after an unprecedented spree of rule-bending, intimidation, and bribery (and that was just with fellow Republicans). Badger has refused to testify to the House Ways and Means Committee about that missing $140 billion, but apparently he's happy to talk to all of us in webland today.

Anyone have a question they'd like to ask the nice Mr. Badger?
