On March 17, Connie Hair of Human Events sharedan unsourced rumor with her readers:
Most interesting rumor from the Hill yesterday: Rep. Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.) who announced his retirement from Congress has been promised the job of NASA administrator in exchange for his vote, and Rep. John Tanner (D-Tenn.), another retiring Democrat, has been promised an appointment as U.S. Ambassador to NATO in exchange for his vote.
It will be interesting to note any job announcements from this Tennessee duo post-House retirement.
Interesting, indeed! No sources, but that didn’t prevent the rumor from reaching all the way to Rep. Jason Chaffetz’s (R-Utah) notes for a speech on the House floor.
The accused congressmen say, respectively, that they’re “shocked” at this “affront.” When pushed, Chaffetz refused the name his source.
