The statement said, verbatim, "Linda Hall Daschle does not lobby senators on behalf of her clients."
If it hadn't been a service to a fellow Democrat, the Times and AP would never have fallen for that old trick. If you put your Democrat-parsing skills, so hard-won during the years of Clinton Chicanery, to use, that translates to, "Linda Hall Daschle doesn't lobby the senators -- with whom she might be at a disadvantage. She goes directly to the Senate staffers, who are most vulnerable to the pressure she and hubby put on."
I hope she's saving all that money that she's supposedly making with all her lobbying skill, because when Tommy retires due to ill health (the voters, unlike his love-gerbils at the Argus, being sick of him), zot! Her lobbying skill will have shown a mysterious decline, and she will no longer be able to pull in multi-mils with no heavy lifting.
This is why Democrats have all that concern about poor people. If most of them ever had to stop relying on graft, they would be the poor people.
