Lobbying makes strange bedfellows on healthcare

How else can you explain former GOP and Democratic House Majority Leaders, Dick Armey and Dick Gephardt, both doing healthcare reform lobbying for the same New Jersey healthcare company?

It also makes for a slower slog through the Senate, and that’s part of what these lobbyists count on.

The Gephardt involvement shows that, once again, the Democratic Party is often just a whiter shade of pale.
