Rachel Maddow gets Dick Armey fired

[tangaroa]

MSNBC news host Rachel Maddow found a link between the conservative activist group Freedom Works and the law firm DLA Piper which also practices public relations. Dick Armey, the former Congressman who was Majority Leader in the House of Representatives, has been the chairman of Freedom Works while also employed by DLA Piper as "a special policy advisor [...] and co-chair of DLA Piper's Homeland Security Task Force", according to DLA Piper's now-deleted biography page for Armey. Maddow accuses Freedom Works of taking political positions shortly after DLA Piper is paid a large sum of money by an interested party. Maddow's story forced Armey to resign from DLA Piper.
