Exiting lawmakers jockey for K Street perch

1. Yep! Follow the money.

ALWAYS follow the money.

Lordy, I remember this self-styled muckraker dude who worked on the AM side of this AM/FM combo where I worked on the FM side. We were talking outside the booth while some big scandal was roaring through the news, and that’s what he told me. I was so green. This was - GULP! - some 40 years ago. Only my second on-air job for an actual paycheck, ever. But I’d remembered reading about that same advice given during Watergate just a few years earlier: “follow the money”. So when I heard it again in an entirely different context, I can still remember thinking: “hmmm... ‘follow the money”... I guess there must be something to it.”
