Say Goodbye, say good buy

The powerful lobbyist organization Alexander Strategy Group is the first casualty of the Abramoff/DeLay corruption scandal. All the adverse press coverage has made the firm as toxic as The Hammer's insecticides and it will cease operations under that name. However, I wouldn't breathe that sigh of relief just yet.

The 12 lobbyists who now work at ASG -- other than Rudy and Buckham -- intend to start a successor firm and intend to keep as many of the clients as possible, according to one of the lobbyists.

Reminds me of the Pentagon's TIA program. The one they dissolved in the face of public objections and they just recreated in the private sector. The face may change but the influence peddling will continue as usual until we get the corrupt politicians out of office.
