Breaux ‘would love’ to have Lott lobby with him.
Yesterday, ThinkProgress noted former Sen. John Breaux (D-LA) was leaving his current position at lobbying powerhouse Patton Boggs to open up his own lobbying shop. The move fueled speculation that Breaux and his good friend, retiring Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS), may be going into business together, which may have been one of the motivations for Lott’s early retirement. Speaking to The New York Times today, Breaux confirmed that he is “going to open up” his “own shop” and that he “would love to have Trent involved.”

November 29th, 2007 at 11:27 amYou have to be at least this tall to ride the ride
indictments all around!
November 29th, 2007 at 11:27 amWell, the pieces are all falling into place. At a pace fast enough for short attention-spanned America to keep up. You would think they would have planned their moves better…
November 29th, 2007 at 11:29 amBreaux used to be my Senator. Now I have Sen Craig.
I definitely have low standards for Senators…*sigh*
November 29th, 2007 at 11:30 amLott’s for sale!
Get him cheap now before new rules make him unavailable.
Lobbyists aren’t people, they’re commodities.
November 29th, 2007 at 11:30 amBreaux is another one that I’d consider a ‘bad’ Democrat.

November 29th, 2007 at 11:32 amZooey,
You don’t set the standards, they do.
My guess is you haven’t voted for either, so enjoy a ‘Neoturd guilt free’ day.
November 29th, 2007 at 11:32 amWould that be The Good Ol’ Boy lobbying firm?
November 29th, 2007 at 11:35 amHelp us help you makes lots of money?
Good work if you can get it I guess.
Don’t taze me, Breaux!

Well, how freakin’ ….COZY.
Ugh. I’m so sick of these corrupt pigs I could just spit.
November 29th, 2007 at 12:07 pmNo partisans when there’s money to be made.
November 29th, 2007 at 12:17 pmI prefer to believe that Trent is picking out curtains for his new jail cell. I know, sometimes it sucks being an optimist.
November 29th, 2007 at 12:23 pmSelling out as Senator, then selling out as Lobbyist.
Politicians have a price tag, and are sold to the highest bidder.
Represent the people my butt.

November 29th, 2007 at 12:33 pmBut remember, to carefully observe the law, no real negotiations have begun until after Lott leaves office. If Lott has already hired a moving van and ordered office furniture, it is only an illusion. If Lott begins work the day after leaving and if Lott has already started talking to future contacts on his future clients behalf, it is only an illusion.
November 29th, 2007 at 12:44 pmBELIEVE the smirking white guys – BELIEVE them!!
November 29th, 2007 at 12:57 pmwhat, Mr. Lott, not going to become a goodwill embassador or a teacher after leaving Congress? even right now, with lobbyists in such a bad light?
top quality, let me tell you…
November 29th, 2007 at 1:27 pmDo these two have something in common we don’t know about? Sleeping with the same gay whore perhaps?
