Let those laid-off Newseum workers eat cake!

[CEO Overby]

"The only bread line I have seen in Washington is the one waiting to get into The Source."

--Freedom Forum CEO Charles Overby, spoon-feeding a quip to The Washington Post about income from The Source restaurant at the financially troubled Newseum complex. The $450-million urban mall anchored by a museum about news has slashed dozens of jobs since November, as main funder Freedom Forum's endowment plunged by a third. The Post says nothing of Overby's annual pay: $481,985 in wages and benefits in 2007, plus another $95,039 for expenses, according to the non-profit foundation's latest IRS tax report.

  10. "where glasses"

    Only a complete moron would type this.

    Might as well lock the thread, gay Jimmy. I'm going to keep coming back and making this entry, and every time I have to retype it, I'm going to take another slam at you.

    That's pretty funny!!

    I'm a different person with a different point of view. that point of view is what does the Freedome Forum have to do with the Gannett blog besides the fact that it is part of Jim's vendetta?

    Writing crap like this just means Jim doesn't have anything to post remotely bad about Gannett so he goes to the next level of his personal bag of BS. Personally, I would prefer to waste my time on Gannett news, not other crap.

  12. The Forum is intimately and intricately tied to Gannett. If you don't understand that, do some Googling.
