Washington's Revolving Door, Part 2,004,123

Retiring Rep Jack Quinn (R-NY) only made $160,000 or so in Congress. He's signed on to earn $500,000 a year as a lobbyist for Cassidy Associates. Their clients include Major League Baseball, Saudi Arabia, and Boeing. Being a former Congressman gets you onto the House floor, in the House gym, all those places a regular joe from Erie, NY coming to complain to his Hired Hands on the Hill about Washington's revolving door are never allowed to go.
