Lawmakers continue to rake in BP campaign money

Washington Post: 

Since the Deepwater Horizon rig's explosion in the gulf on April 20, here are the fundraisers by lobbyists who represent BP:

-- Paul Brathwaite and Cristina Antelo, who both lobby for the Podesta Group, were among numerous hosts for a May 26 party benefiting CHC-BOLD PAC, a PAC for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

-- Tim Glassco, also a lobbyist for the Podesta Group, was a host of a "young professionals" happy hour on May 25 for Rep. Glenn Nye (D-Va.).

-- Dan Meyer, a lobbyist for the Duberstein Group, was a host of an April 29 event for Carly Fiorina, who was seeking the GOP nomination for a California U.S. Senate seat.

-- Podesta and his wife, Heather, hosted an April 28 breakfast for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla).

Now you know why those congressional hearnings look like such a charade.  They are strictly a show, "Boob bait for Bubbas."
