PhRMA should fire him immediately, if not sooner.

I dont get the objection here. What is wrong with developing new drugs?

Hypocrisy: Martha Coakley Takes Money From Health Insurance Lobbyists

Martha Coakley says she holds health insurers accountable, then one day later, takes money from the very same health insurance lobbyists at a Washington fundraiser.
Awesome ad. What a fascinating campaign!
Weekly Standard Reporter Attacked Outside of Democratic Fundraiser
FOXNews.com
The rough-and-tumble world of politics was on full display Tuesday night when longtime Democratic strategist Michael Meehan was caught on videotape shoving a reporter for the Weekly Standard into a metal railing, reportedly giving him a large tear in his pants.
******
You all remember him during Kerry’s campaign! He was on every talk show imaginable!
Meehan previously served as chief of staff to Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and communications adviser to Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). In April 2004, then-Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry hired Meehan. He had “worked for Kerry almost two decades ago and is one of a handful of longtime Kerry associates on the campaign staff. He also was Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle’s (D-S.D.) political director.”
Like Google is finding out with the ChiComs I bet Pharma is going to regret getting in bed with the Democrats. If Democrats want to allow reimportation, price controls and the like and I was a GOP Rep I would not bother answering the calls when Pharma comes a calling.
I met Michael Meehan in 2004 in Washington when he was working the Kerry campaign.
You never saw a more arrogant, pompous, self-important moron in your life. He spent most of his time speaking on his cell phone in a loud voice so you could hear just how important he was. He expected everybody around to make way for him, and was demanding of every poor receptionist or intern he ran into.
He has never held a real job in his life - just politics. Actually, I wish there were hundreds of him in Washington - because there are THOUSANDS of them.(Unfortunately, the Republicans have a few of them too.)
