Josh has the right take on the state of texas rethuglican lobbying mess. No Voice in Washington?
A state with 2 republican senators and a largely republican congressional delegation needed outside lobbyists to make their case to congress? What complete and utter bullshit.
This is about (a) rewarding your cronies with cushy jobs and (b) laundering state taxpayer funds into republican campaigns. It's the same playbook over and over and over.
Update: Josh has another update on Denny Hastert's district with the same scam running.
Let's call this what it is- patronage. Pure and simple. I'm sure it's going on in every republican fiefdom in the land.
