The WSJ reported a day ago that if the Dems take over control of Congress they plan to investigate Republicans who went to work or lobby for drug interests. No limit on how far back they will go. I guess that means William Seward (Lincoln) and Harvey WIley (first FDA commissioner under TR) are fair game.
I think I have a good idea just who ever made this threat had in mind. Let's be clear: this is either settling personal scores or a way to shakedown the GOP leaning lobbying firms in DC to create jobs for Democrat types. As in, we will call off the dogs if you hire our friends. The Republicans did the same thing when Delay pressured lobbying firms to hire more GOPers. The D's are adding a new thuggist wrinkle to the game by using the congressional supeona power as a job search engine for their pals.
