      To be fair, he's not wrong. No one HAD been treating them as laws. Why influence peddling schmucks like Manafort are so common in DC.

      I'd take Lanny Breuer and Tony Podesta along for the ride. But some oject lessons for both parties would be awesome.

      In fact I'll be genuinely sad if we start rooting out the influence peddlers and don't take him out too. He's a menace.

          Lanny Breuer is not a good guy, as @eisingerj 's excellent book shows, but few ppl are as comically evil as Lanny Davis.

          Maybe ONLY Manafort is that comically evil.

          What about Mark Penn? Or is there a comic element missing there.

          Penn seems joyless. I dealt w/ Lanny Davis once--he seemed to be getting a real kick out of trying to get me to fall for obvious falshehoods

          Yup. I'd even be willing to lose one more Dem sleazy influence peddlers than Republicans over this if we could get rid of him.
