Of sanctimony and revolving doors
The SAEN/Chronicle's Peggy Fikac wrote up Chris Bell's new career move: DC lobbyist!
I seem to recall Bell relying quite significantly on lobbyistphobia quite frequently during his campaign. I have nothing against lobbyists; most are good people. Chris Bell's holier than thou sanctimony followed by his benefiting from the revolving door? Amusing, but not unexpected.
Imagine that I'd told you in March 2003, that both Tom DeLay and Chris Bell would be out of Congress in 2007 after both had been admonished by the House Ethics Committee. Which one would the media caricature suggest would cash in by becoming a lobbyist?
