He said he’s never been a lobbyist. Seems easy enough to validate.

Defining the word lobbyist is like Bill Clinton defining the word “is.” Influence peddling doesn’t necessarily mean the legal term lobbyist.

I don't remember the details, but I saw a story the other day about how people like Newt lobby without ever having to register as a lobbyist and it was all legal.

You've gotta love Republicans. Both Bill Frist and Bob Dole are currently pushing ObamaCare. Anything for a buck; capitalism at its zenith.

He presides over lobbyists. Doubt he makes any contacts himself. But he earns his living by lobbying, and other stuff. So does Dick Armey, his foe.
