I'll bet that's right

Congresscritter Bill Thomas, (Repug-CA) is retiring:

"I haven't finished my work and I have nine months to go. I'm not walking away into the sunset," Thomas said Monday. "Just because I won't be in office doesn't mean I won't have any influence."

A K-street lobbyist for the drug companies for whom he pushed the crappy Medicare bill? Indian casinos? The Carlyle Group? The United Arab Emirates? All of the above? Being a Repug scumbag means never having to say you're poor.
