Those damn kids with their damn K Street careers

waiting for them while I slave away listening

to goddamn John Boehner...

Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) lamented in a closed-door meeting Wednesday that his staff can get rich as lobbyists while he is "stuck here making $172,000," according to the National Review Online. NRO Jonathan Strong reports that Gingrey said that staff may not make a lot of money on Capitol Hill, “but in a few years they can just go to K Street and make $500,000 a year. Meanwhile I’m stuck here making $172,000.”

Oh, the sadness. I think we all need to get together tonight and light a candle for Rep. Phil Gingrey That does sound horrible. Well, I can think of several ways to get out of your dead-end $172,000 per year job, Rep. Gingrey, so give me a ring if you'd like some advice. For a small fee, of course.
