The other day I described how Republican Mayor Curt Pringle made some big bucks as a lobbyist for the so-called Children and Families Commission, a by-product of the 1998 liberal feel-good Proposition 10 that placed a new tax on tobacco and redistributed the dough to the Government Kiddie Bureaucracy. I promised to shake the branches of this tree to see what other strange fruits might tumble out. Well, Lo and Behold.
It turns out that Matthew J. Cunningham who masquerades as a local “conservative” blogger may be the biggest big government gravy slurpers at the Children and Families Commission trough.
As he pontificates about the joys of small government on his blog, Cunningham is making a killing as a PR flack for the ultra-liberal Commission and it’s professional do-gooders. And why not? His buddies Bill Campbell and Hugh Hewitt are/were on the Commission when he started his lucrative shill-meistering and wordsmithery for a government bureaucracy, and it’s hard to conceive that his uberboss, John Lewis wasn’t somehow responsible for directing this huge windfall to its rather unlikely recipient.
Here are the fun facts of the Cunningham contracts with the Commission:

I wonder if the good folks at the Children and Families Commission are aware of the fact that Cunningham victimized Catholic Church sexual abuse victims by outing their names in an attempt to intimidate and scare them. Looks like an email will be coming there way to let them know.
Not bad for a guy who works out of his extra bedroom!
Jerbal is such a scumbag…
Matt Cunningham outed sex-abuse victims.
That’s insane!
This guy needs to come out of the closet and let everyone know that he doesn’t really believe in limited, smaller government.
Doesn’t this guy go to Republican central commitee meetings? If he’s a regular, I would to like see the next meeting and Matts interaction with that body.
Someone at the Friends of fullerton website mentioned about his position on a county board and the possible underhandiness there…who is looking there?
