Although I could use the job, there's just no way I'm going to give up San Diego's near-perfect climate for Foggy Bottom.

I'm glad a commissioner in charge of approving the Comcast/NBC merger is now a VP lobbyist for Comcast/NBC. Oy vey..

Rotating door... Happens a lot as of late. In fact, the last election voted in about 7 lobbyist into the House. And, 4 or so left, to go and resume their post at their corporate lobbying outfits.
