Calling Jeff Gannon



NYT:
To help defeat roadside ambushes, the military in May 2005 contracted to buy 122 Cougars whose special V-shaped hull helps deflect roadside bombs, military officials said. But the Pentagon gave the job to a small firm in South Carolina, Force Protection, that had never mass-produced vehicles. Company officials said a string of blunders has pushed the completion date to June.
How did the Cougar's manufacturer land this cherry contract?

Rule #1: Remind GOP of something they're already accustomed to paying for.
