Or a notorious former lobbyist and current lawyer for a prominent law firm linked to lobbying – no, wait, that last bit is actually a little unfair to lobbying firms**. For all I know DLA Piper is not particularly horrible, at all. But it says a lot about the power elite in the Democratic party that one of its former leaders thinks that it’s safe to utter the phrase ‘almost too much transparency’ in public.

**But not particularly unfair to Tom Daschle.
What amazes isn’t that Daschle thinks he can say this .. no, that actually is kind of amazing.

What *also* amazes, in this situation, is that Congress so often lets the Executive Branch operate in such a relatively dark cave…

If sunlight burns, then *aim it at the other branch!*
