John Ashcroft prostituted himself to XM before being rebuffed. He then chose to lobby on behalf of the NAB against the merger, which shows what a complete sellout scumbag Ashcroft really is. Pathetic and disgusting. What a whore. And I used to defend the guy. No more.

I not please with the NABs position and I'm sorry to see Ashcroft working for them.

But it kind of sounds like you are describing someone setting up a new lobbying firm trying to find clients. That doesn't inherently bother me.

Ashcroft is a lawyer in private practice right now, and works for any clients willing to pay his bills.

At least you knew he was working for the NAB. There are some big-name Beltway lawyers (I'll name Robert Bork for one) who pretend to be objective commentators about certain legal issues even while they collect handsome fees from people and/or companies who have a financial stake in those issues.
