Jack
men past years
In the past few years I have begun the process of becoming a new man.
party political vote
I can't vote again ever, so political party is not a relevant thing for me.
forgive-me forgiving almighty
I am much chastened and profoundly remorseful. I can only hope that the Almighty and those whom I have wronged will forgive me my trespasses.
creativity
All I have, really, is my creativity.
people cartoon want
All I want is for people not to see me as this cartoon monster.
effort lobbying rewards
As a lobbyist, I thought it only natural and right that my clients should reward those members who saved them such substantial sums with generous contributions. This quid pro quo became one of hallmarks of our lobbying efforts.
years office people
As a lobbyist, I was completely against term limits, and I know a lot of people are against term limits, and I was one of the leaders, because why? As a lobbyist, once you buy a congressional office, you don't have to re-buy that office in six years, right?
cynical barbarians clients
As a result, I've been portrayed as a cynical barbarian preying on the very clients I was charged to defend.
religious perfect levels
Being somebody who wants to be religious doesn't make me perfect and doesn't make me necessarily any better than anybody else. It maybe makes me better than I would have been if I didn't have that level.
persons complexes
Everybody's a complex person. Everybody. Everybody's nuanced.
phones years law
A senator will come off Capitol Hill and they'll be barred from two years from lobbying in the Senate. So they'll pick the phone up and they'll call their buddy, the senator, their old buddies, and they'll say, 'Listen, I'm here at this law firm now. I can't lobby you, but my new partner, Jack, can lobby you.'
weak humans human-beings
Human beings are weak.
realizing good-business spending
They realize that spending millions to save billions is just good business.
beats
You can't beat somebody with nobody.
