How not to lead my example

There is a Washington Times article here that says:
House Democrats put lobbying reform near the top of their agenda, but their incoming majority leader was one of the biggest recipients of special-interest money.

A new report states that Rep. Steny H. Hoyer, Maryland Democrat, was the "most dependent" on special-interest funding and received the fifth-highest total in lobbying contributions among members of Congress.

Look for Hoyer to pretend to back lobbying reform while continuing to benefit from special interest funding. That’s the Democratic way.
