"People work in Washington and, man, they hit that revolving door with a speed that would blind you." She went on to claim that banks hire politicians like Cantor "not because they bring great expertise and insight, but because they’re selling access back into their former colleagues who are still writing policy."

Ever since Warren unseated incumbent Sen. Scott Brown in 2012, her star has been on the rise in the Democratic Party, especially among progressive activists who see her as potential presidential material and have set up a Ready for Warren super-PAC in the hope that she will challenge Clinton for the 2016 Democratic nomination....

Talent (or a lack thereof) will out eventually. See: Olbermann, Keith or Rather, Dan.

I am more concerned about the Washington revolving door between elected officials, lobbyists, bureaucrats and media. These groups are supposed to keep each other accountable but instead are all on the same team.

Lobbyists are called that because they used the lobby of the Willard Hotel to wine & dine congressmen. That was 150 or more years ago.

The sacred “COW” Hitlery is just as corrupt as any of those that become whores to the system. Her husband the “Rapist” is leading the charge.
