$250K is more than a lot of people make in a year? No shit!

media matters is commenting on an out-and-out falsehood spouted by neal boortz, claiming that bill clinton was indicted and convicted for the same crime as scooter libby... but what caught my eye was THIS...
NEAL BOORTZ: ... Scooter Libby was sentenced to pay a $250,000 fine. That's a quarter of a million dollars, that's more than a lot of people make in a year.

$250K IS ONE FRIGGIN' HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKE IN A YEAR...! whatever bubble boortz lives in, the man has clearly lost touch with any semblance of reality (although i realize that's not unusual for our far-right, wingnut fringe)... there's a lot of individuals and families out there who would die to earn $50K a year...
