He's quiting early so he can avoid the new law that would require him to wait two years to become a lobbyist. Is this the lowest thing a politician has done since Larry Craig? Or is it just typical of the self serving people in Washington D.C.?

Does this surprise you of a man, whom his whole life has been dedicated to corporate interests?
Aside from being unable to identify what they really want, the affluent oligarchy, unable to come to terms with the infinite financial possibilities of their reality, share a disconnect with the working people of the once free nation. How can such wealth even begin to understand the plight of a minimum wage worker, or of the family whose head of the household works three jobs and still cannot make ends meet? Why would such wealth even care? The inability of relating to the 22% of the nation's children who live in poverty is impossible for the mighty moneyed men who suffer from the psychological freedom that having so much wealth brings. Those who spend more on a bottle of Champagne or a pair of cuff links than the typical working United Statesian annually spends on prescription medication for a sick or disabled child are not in a position to know what's best for them. The rich, especially the ruling rich, while they know what they do, do not know what wealth does to them. The sad part is that, we, the sheeple, like adult children of alcoholics, enable them.
The super-controlling rich buy obedience through purchasing high-power lobbyists in Congress. They turn to manipulating national symbols to get the population to conform. If that doesn't work, then Hitlerian and Stalinist tactics will do. Conformity takes on the qualities of corporate brand loyalty -- not surprising since this illegal administration is composed of Halliburton, Carlyle Group, Chevron, Unocal, et oil, people. Slicker than black gold, darker than Texas Tea, they trickle up the wealth while goose-stepping on the Constitution.

Not surprised in the least bit and absolutely typical of the self-serving ******* in DC.
Look for more retirement announcements for that reason.
There is a lot of money to be made as a lobbyist. Which is why we need to reform money raising laws for Congress.

Yes it is.
Whether he's a politician or a lobbyist, he's still is in a scum-sucking, trashy career. I suppose he likes wearing a suit and looking business-like, as if he's not the creepy puke that he is.

He hasn't been a big fan of the Cheney administration, since they wouldn't go to bat for him on the whole racist speech thing. He lost the Speaker position over it.
Just another rat jumping ship, although his timing IS impecable.

I don't care.
If you knew anything about politics, you would know that's what most politicians do after they retire from office.
Both Parties.
How could you NOT know that?
Are you so un-informed that you think Lott is the First One????
Cool!

If he is as useless as a lobbyist as he was a senator, he'll be needing all those social programs the Dems are trying to give him
