Sadly, I think you're correct.

Why sadly? That makes no sense at all....that's what politicians do after they leave office...they are sought after by business, industry and all others who have a stake in how the congress rules on that which affects their bottom line. This isn't new nor is it something we are going to stop. You can't forbid a politician from making a living at what he knows to do. They all do it.

I say "sadly", because Newt took taxpayer money to be a Freddie Mac "historian". What a joke. They all do it, as you said. It's business as usual. Waste the taxpayer money on "historians" while bridges crumble.

I will not give Newt a pass because "they all do it". They all stink.
