Death Knell of the K Street Project:
Franklin Foer over at The Plank pronounces that the K Street Project is headed the way of Tom DeLay. That is, down the elevator shaft. Foer provides an anecdote from his office building:
TNR shares its building with a lobbying outfit that was a prime cog in K Street Project machine. (Yes, our office space is that sweet.) This firm contains several of DeLay’s ex- staffers. But apparently, their juice has dried up. Riding down in the elevator, I heard the firm’s head kvetching about how DeLay’s downfall had been bad for business. “We’re hurting,” he moaned. “The whole industry is hurting.” Hopefully, the hurt has just begun.
