One bad apple

Uh oh, Abramoff and his ilk are giving everybody a bad name.

On Lou Dobbs last night, the poll question was: Do you believe lobbyists and all lobbying organizations should be completely banned? And here's how the vote came out:

Yes: 94%; 7163 votes
No: 6%; 424 votes

And people wonder why lobbyists, even those who work for charitable and/or non-evil causes, like to refer to themselves as things like "advocates" or "legislative representatives" in polite company.
