You're referring to the passage of Our Fair Lugar into the dusty halls of Booz Allen Hamilton or Deloitte or some other nebulous "consulting" firm which will quickly acquaint him with riches beyond his wildest Hoosier dreams in exchange for naked influence-peddling and cushy DoD contracts?
Drifty,
But which men are these who wish only to watch it all burn? The whining MOTUs at the tops of hedge funds and TBTF banks? Rusty Limpballs and his ilk?
