Is this the beginning of a beautiful partnership?
John Breaux, the nominally Democratic senator who diverted truckloads of revenue into the lobbying coffers of Patton Boggs since leaving Congress, is hanging his own influence shingle with son John Jr. But given Breaux's longtime bond with suddenly job-hunting Trent Lott, one figures it's only a matter of time before the Mississippi Republican and his son Chester Jr. (yes, Sen. Lott's first name is Chester) make it a foursome.
I'd quote Breaux's best line, but Eleanor Clift has already done it:
I can't be bought, but I can be rented.
