Lott and Breaux Open Bipartisan Lobbying Firm

From The Washington Post:

Former senators John Breaux (D-La.) and Trent Lott (R-Miss.) are opening a new, all-in-the-family lobbying firm, saying the capital and its corporate suitors are "yearning" for bipartisan solutions to gridlock.

The professional marriage had been assumed a foregone conclusion among K Street insiders since Lott announced Nov. 26 that he was retiring from the Senate less than a year after starting a six-year term. Days later, Breaux announced he was leaving the large lobbying firm Patton Boggs to form his own small shop.
