Lobbyist Ethics?

Do lobbyists have ethical boundaries? No big surprise that Abramoff made a plea deal. Not that he has much to worry about. I heard he supposedly can get up to nine years in prison, but it will be a very nice prison, I'm certain.

Bloody politicians. Hang 'em all, and Hang 'em high.
The biggest corruption scandal to infect Congress in a generation took down one of the best-connected lobbyists in Washington yesterday. The questions echoing around the capital were what other careers -- and what other familiar ways of doing business -- are endangered.
Makes you wonder if these "familiar ways of doing business" ever really have any oversight.
