Bush Restoring Cash Bonuses for Political Appointees

The White House has decided that several thousand political appointees across the federal government will be eligible for cash bonuses, abandoning a Clinton-era prohibition that grew out of questionable practices in the first Bush administration.

Sweet baby Jesus, isn't anybody else paying attention? Can anyone explain to me how this is a good idea when we apparently can't afford statutory pay raises for regular goverment employees?

Just asking.
