Change not needed

So much for that.

The drive for a tighter lobbying law, just two months ago a major priority on Capitol Hill, is losing momentum, a victim of shifting political interests, infighting among House Republicans and a growing sense among lawmakers of both parties that wholesale change may not be needed after all.

You mean, Congress didn't really want to see restrictions on the lobbyists who shower them with gifts and riches but were just doing it because there's an election coming up and voters seemed awful mad about that whole Abrmaoff thing, but now that the public has been distracted by the possibility of a nation that helped fund the attacks of 9/11 taking over operations at several U.S. ports, which are among the least protected points of entry to this country, they're going to sweep the whole thing under the rug?

Shocking. Not Cladue Allen shocking, but still.
