Rep. Rahm Emanuel said "investigators have recently uncovered a letter from the Republican leadership to special interest lobbyists. Dear Lobbyists, How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth of thy oil wells, for thou shall have $14.5 billion to drill them. I love thee to the heights of thy drug profits, For the Medicare bill gives you $139 billion in profits. I love thee for thy golf courses, private jets and retirement jobs. I love thee for thy donations, libations and vacations. For now we must part, and I call it reform. But remember, in December, once we get past November, The travel ban expires, and I'll meet you at the tees. Yours forever, cause I can't quit you, The Republican Congress. ___________________
