"Law, PR Firms Help Contractors Navigate (Waxman's) Reconstruction Inquiries"
A small army of K street big guns has been called in to help protect the mercenary armies in Iraq: http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cfm?articleid=36312&sid=5

Waxman's staffers must really have them running scared.

1. Never thought about it that way, but Waxman's committee
is like a full-employment act for Puggy lawyers.

3. No matter what happens in Washington...
there is always work for a small army of K Street P.R. people and lawyers..that's why most of these firms stock their shelves with both Democrats and Republicans, but in truth I don't think many of them really care about much except the money.

4. It's Like Living in Rome...
... at the height of the decay of the Roman Empire, sometimes, it really is.

5. Like Matalin & Carville that way.
Same profession, different sides of the street.
