SPECIAL ACCESS FOR LOBBYISTS? The Hill is reporting that lobbyists want a “frequent visitors’ card” to give them quick passage through Congressional security, and that some members of Congress are interested in helping them out.

TAPPED doesn’t much like the idea, and neither do I. It’s bad enough that so many members of Congress are bought and paid for by special interests. Now they want to skip the lines, too?

Somehow, I don’t think the Republic will suffer if Jack Valenti has to cool his heels waiting to pass through a metal detector.
