From this article;

At the center of all this was Santorum. According to Confessore, Santorum conducted weekly breakfasts with lobbyists, and occasionally Congressmen and White House staff, during which he attempted to match Republican Hill staffers with K Street job openings.

As Confessore put it, “Every week, the lobbyists present pass around a list of the jobs available and discuss whom to support. Santorum’s responsibility is to make sure each one is filled by a loyal Republican—a Senator’s chief of staff, for instance, or a top White House aide, or another lobbyist whose reliability has been demonstrated.” The group refused to meet with Democrats, and threatened sanctions against lobbies that did.

Thanks, I read it and sent the link to a freeper on another thread earlier today. He will also have to explain milking Pennsylvania taxpayersclaiming a property tax deduction and tuition reimbursement in Pennsylvania while living in VA. Believe that’s one of the reasons he lost his senate bid in PA in 2006 and lost BIG.
