A front page article in the Saturday Santa Fe New Mexican reported the wife of Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) received $2.5 million in fees as a lobbyist on behalf of the fiber-optic company, Global Crossing. The paper reported that Anne Bingaman's office released a statement in which she stated she, "never met or spoke at any member of Congress or congressional staff on behalf of Global Crossing."
Remember the amazing assertion last week by Hillary Clinton that she and Bill had never discussed whether he would actually live in the $1.3 manse in suburban New York? This Bingaman couple sets marital communications back to the stone age. This is way, way more than "Lobbyists are from Venus; Senators are from Mars." Jeff Bingaman must be from Andromeda:
"Say, honey? Where'd this $2.5 million come from in our bank account?"
"I can't tell you."
"Oh. Ok. Well, then I'm just going to go on into the office and finish up that legislation directing the FCC to allow a new direct undersea fiber optic cable to Asia. What do you want for dinner?"
"Sushi."

Good article. Not to be a posting nazi tho, JimRob doesnt want us to change the titles because it hampers the ability of FReepers to search the database to see if it has been posted yet. When the original title doesnt come up, they post the article and it is a duplicate, which wastes bandwidth. Just FYI...JFK

Fair point, I was thinking about it, but the original title was "Why don't we talk anymore" and was actually referring to several mini-articles that he tied together.

Well, if it makes you feel better, I think your headline is much superior...:-)..JFK

Wow, and Daschle's wife is a lobbyist for the airlines. I wonder how many other Democrat legislators have lobbyist wives. This could be another means of collecting soft money for the Democrats, soft money with hidden quid pro quos.
