It was suggested that boondoggles were small items of leatherwork which were made by cowboys on idle days as decorations for their saddles.
It is sometimes said that he invented it, certainly that he used it for the braided leather lanyards made and worn by Boy Scouts, or for other small craft projects intended to keep Scouts out of mischief.
Whatever its origin, it was the article in the New York Times that converted boondoggle from a word existing quietly in its own little world to one of public importance.

 Law.com - At Libby Trial, a Boondoggle of a Time
That March 2004 testimony, played before the jury last week in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, is a linchpin of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's case against Libby, the former aide to Vice President Dick Cheney.
And befitting a case in which words play the prominent role, much of the back-and-forth between the prosecutor and Libby about that conversation involved whether the term "boondoggle" was ever used -- and, indeed, whether Plame and Wilson were ever even mentioned.
But he didn't think it was July 12 because he had made those press calls in the car, and he had a memory that when Kessler raised the question of a "boondoggle," he was standing.

 Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Opinion / Editorials / Forest boondoggle
YEAR IN and year out, the politically powerful Alaska congressional delegation encourages the US Forest Service to build, at taxpayer expense, logging roads in the Tongass National Forest for the benefit of the state's dwindling timber business.
Even worse is the fact that taxpayers are financing the destruction of the largest remaining temperate rain forest in the world.
McCain favors an amendment to an appropriations bill that would ban logging subsidies in the Tongass, which was first protected in 1907 by another Republican conservationist, President Theodore Roosevelt.

 LA Weekly - News - Welcome to Boondoggle Unified - Jeffrey Anderson - The Essential Online Resource for Los Angeles
The school district’s inspector was cozy with Santos’ boss, and seemingly more interested in long lunches and Lakers tickets than in checking classrooms for earthquake safety.
Over the next five years, Santos would find out just how hard it is to pierce the layers of bureaucracy that surround such a boondoggle.
