Offering politicians a political appointment that requires them to leave an elected position or not to run for an elected position is a standard practice. It is not a 'bribe' in that there is no expected renumeration. It does force the party to choose between the two jobs, and it does benefit the person who offers the job by opening up a seat.
BTW, unlike UT I would have no problem listening to Michelle Malkin or Ann Coulter, provided they were together naked and addressing me from a tub filled with lime jello.
