Where Are They Now: Corporate Democrat EditionPosted on Jun 7, 2011
Birch Evans “Evan” Bayh III, darling of conservative Democrats, left the Senate to find “better ways to serve my fellow citizens.” So far he has signed on as a Fox News contributor and Chamber of Commerce lobbyist. This is the type of corporate shill that passes for a moderate in our politics. On his Chamber of Commerce “road show,” Bayh will be accompanied by former George W. Bush chief of staff Andy Card.

Isn’t it about time we bring down this system before it kills us?

After thirty long years of the policies favored by Bayh it is not surprising that the only job he could find is a service one - what does he get paid per hour for selling out?
