If I Read The Articles About Me,

Everybody's A Complex Person. Everybody. Everybody's Nuanced.

I'm A Hypercompetitive Individual.

You Can't Take A Congressman To Lunch For $25 And Buy Him A Hamburger Or A Steak Or Something Like That. But You Can Take Him To A Fundraising Lunch And Not Only Buy Him That Steak, But Give Him $25,000 Extra And Call It A Fundraiser. And Have All The Same Access And All The Same Interactions With That Congressman.

If I Read The Articles About Me, And I Didn't Know Me, I Would Think I Was Satan.

I Got Into Lobbying Kind Of Against My Will At First. I Frankly Didn't Want To Be A Lobbyist, But I Realized That In Lobbying I Could Do Things Politically That Were Interesting To Me And Do Some What I Thought Would Be Good. I'm Not Sure It All Turned Out Like That, But At Least That Was Some Of The Initial Thinking.
