First we'll need a commission.


John Boehner, the new House Majority Leader, recently told Tim Russert that he didn't intend to rush into lobbying reform. You will understand Boehner's resolve not to be hasty when you learn, as we did from The Hill, that more than 20 of his former staffers now work as lobbyists. And Newsweek's Holly Bailey and Eleanor Clift note that just since 2000, "Boehner has taken more than $150,000 worth of junkets paid for by private interests, ranking him in the top ten of all members of Congress."
