DC Lobbyist Pauses for Moment of Guilt, Then Returns to "SSDD"
Under the Influence has a post this morning that you should take time to read. Bill Allison is developing just the type of snarkastic voice that has been long needed on lobbying and the rivers of cash at the national level.
My favorite bit from today:
Let's see, you don't wear white shoes after labor day, and you don't make donations over -- what? $200? $500? $1,000? -- two weeks after a hurricane?
In slightly related news: if I can work it out, I'll be reporting on tomorrow's meeting of the Tennessee Lobbyists Association, which will be held here in Chattanooga. The TLA may be facing some challenging times of regrouping ahead; or they may be facing only a slightly different version of business as usual on Capitol Hill -- it depends on how much the the two commissions assigned to study and propose ethics reforms are influenced by the lobbyists who oppose said reforms. It should be interesting.
