It’s a long shot, but if embattled former House majority leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) can fend off current and any future criminal charges, he could land a sweet gig on K Street, Congressional Quarterly‘s Shawn Zeller finds:
“What would set him apart is his strategic insight,” says Charlie Black, a Republican lobbyist with BKSH & Associates. “He accomplished more in winning votes on the House floor than anyone in the last 20 years.”
So does that mean that Black is planning to keep a desk free for DeLay come 2007? “I doubt if I could afford him,” he says. “But he can come here and work with us anytime he wants.”
