Progressive, The, May, 2003

> In an article on TomPaine.com entitled "Power on the Potomac," Arianna Huffington writes about the connections between politicians and familial lobbyists. Case in point: Linda Daschle, wife of Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, is one of the airline industry's top lobbyists. "Among those lobbyists making friends and influencing family members in our nation's capital are John Breaux Jr., Scott Hatch, Key Reid and Joshua Hastert, the sons of Senators John Breaux, Orrin Hatch, Harry Reid, and House Speaker Denny Hastert."
