I see that Philip Cooney resigned from the White House two days after it was reported that he edited scientific documents to fit the Bush agenda.

Of course, he'd already planned to leave so he could "spend time with his family" and is in no way related to the fact that he got caught. Uh-huh.

I wonder how many "former" lobbyists are holding policy making positions in the federal government these days and how it compares to years past. Hmmm....I know that a year or so ago the number being bandied about was 100(ish) but I wonder if that's accurate today.
