As Matthew Yglesias says, its time for another blogger ethics panel.
A GOP consultant writes a puff piece about Ralph Norman, candidate for US House in South Carolina.
Said consultant neglects to mention that Norman for House has paid him almost $13,000 in the last three months.
Blogger coverage of the scandal on the flip.

TThe SC Hotline linked to a Ralph-touting op-ed on Townhall.com this morning.
Ralph Norman, the state representative challenging ncumbent John Spratt, is sensing some serious momentum. As summer approaches, sources close to the campaign detect some serious confidence. Norman recently commented to a friend, I'm going to win.
Townhall.com visited the 5th District last week and witnessed the evidence causing Norman's confidence. His name recognition among potential voters has risen virtually to the level of Spratt, the incumbent.
Funny, neither the administrators of the website nor the author of the op-ed,
Eliot Peace, mentioned anywhere that Peace's employer, Starboard Communications, has
received nearly $13,000 from the Norman Campaign.
