Hey Leslie, stop acting like you are surprised or this somehow disgusts you in your condescending fashion. If you really wanted to be a journalist why don't you do an expose of every congressman and their office(staffers) and their relationship with every firm on K street. That would require you to inform the public of pertinent facts...which might not be in your job description as a journalist in the MainStream Media.

The only way to reduce the influence of lobbying is to reduce the influence, size, and scope of government. You're deluding yourself if you think otherwise.
