Lobbyists Are People Too
If it wasn’t obvious to you before that Harry Reid, whose ancestor may have been horse thief and a train robber, was going to be a problem for President Obama, no matter, Harry is here to remind us. Firedoglake points us to an ABC News report that informs us that Reid invited top lobbyists to an inaugural brunch on Monday. Said Reid:
People should understand that lobbyists, per se, are someone’s father, mother, son, daughter.They work for a living.

Reid’s sons and son-in-law are lobbyists.
I still don’t understand how we get Reid in Washington and Adams in Dover. I study and study politics and I still don’t understand. Is there some sort of stupid vacine administered with the oath of office for Senators? Apparently it has something to do with being the venerable and august Senate, as opposed to the hoi-poloi in the House. Well, get over yourselves Senators — the county and state are in way too deep to muck around with this egotistical crap.
I don’t think that Reid is going to be the only legislator who is going to be a problem on the lobbying front. Too many of all of them are too wed to the money and to the favoritism it gets them.
Ahem: CARPER
