For your edutainment, below is a list of some of the most depraved lobbyists money can buy. 9) Chris Dodd The former Connecticut Senator, and internationally renowned eyebrow-haver, isn’t the most prodigious scum in the Beltway swamp, but he may be the most hypocritical.
Dodd’s most public, and ultimately ill-fated, advocacy was in pushing two potentially disastrous bills: the Stop Online Piracy Act, and its Senate counterpart, Protect IP Act—both of which would’ve given the federal government the right to shut down any website that was merely being accused of copyright infringement. 8) Billy Tauzin And ditto that for the awful Medicare Part D fine-tuning in ’05.
