On Monday, it was reported that Castellanos, who has served as a media consultant for many Republican presidential candidates as well as an advisor for the private health insurance industry, will play an expanded role at the RNC after the committee parted ways with its communications director, Trevor Francis.

The move will not preclude Castellanos from appearing regularly on cable news. A spokesperson for CNN tells the Huffington Post that Castellanos will not be paid for his RNC gig and, therefore, will be treated in the same vein as other partisan commentators who advise campaign committees, such as longtime Democrats, Donna Brazile and Paul Begala.

Castellanos, in an email to the Huffington Post, said reports of his RNC gig were overstated. He is "not replacing anyone" at the committee, "just helping out... as a senior advisor."

I never paid any attention to the swill he puts out at CNN anyway.
