WASHINGTON — House Democrats were preparing late last year for the first floor vote on the financial regulatory overhaul when Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio and other Republican leaders summoned more than 100 industry lobbyists and conservative political activists to Capitol Hill for a private strategy session.

The bill’s passage in the House already seemed inevitable. But Mr. Boehner and his deputies told the Wall Street lobbyists and trade association leaders that by teaming up, they could still perhaps block its final passage or at least water it down.

1. If Democratic strategists fail to 'capitalize' from GOOPer political whoredom

then I can only shake my head in wonderment and disgust. I've seen a lot of political ads alluding to their cozy relationship with lobbyists, but now it's time to take the fight directly to Bonehead's doorstep.

2. Nothing freakish about a GOP leader bound to lobbyists.

It's the norm for GOP leaders.
