1) So is everyone and his brother. Like the Soros freak-out or the Tea Party, it's a fascinatingly manufactured meme with real legs.
2) This is not their discovery. Or, you know, particularly remarkable. No-bid contracts have a long and dirty history.
3) That's not "sharpness", that's just grandstanding by individuals in a community that values attention-seeking.
4) And? See #3.
You're rather clearly confusing political acumen with "can get attention".
