Can I Buy You A Drink?
With Jack Abramoff headed for jail, two journalists recently decided to go undercover as lobbyists and find out how “the Hill” really works. Among their discoveries: it’s good to practice saying the phrase “my clients will be seeking some regulatory relief'”. Also political showdowns in Italy and France, pro-life's bait and switch, the ethics of gossip columnists, and the US plan for Iran.
