For those keeping score at home...

U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez's chief of staff is leaving for the private sector, and the senator has promoted his Florida field director to replace him.

John Little, Martinez's chief since his election in 2004, is joining The Petrizzo Group, a D.C. lobbying firm, as a policy consultant on federal issues affecting Florida.

His replacement is Deputy Chief of Staff Tom Weinberg, who also served as state director in the Orlando office. Weinberg worked for Martinez, a Republican, when he was mayor of Orange County. The new state director is Kevin Doyle of Jacksonville.

And the day will come when the victims become the criminals and the criminals become the victims… when the innocent become the guilty and the guilty become the innocent… when the boys become girls and the girls become boys… and when the politicians become the lobbyists and the lobbyist become the politicians…….. this; will be a sign that the end is near.

… so let it be written, so let our honor be sold to the highest bidder… so let it be done.

ratzzzz, leaving the sinking ship

cashing in on all the whoring they did while working for a piglican politician!!

The endless revolving door of GOP influence peddling, in action. I sure hope Presidnet Obama can at least put a dent in it. He should get his chance unless the swiftboating GOPers who fear him so much can come up with better spin than they have to date.

Yes, under a President Obama blacks will no longer be required to pay taxes, whites will pay 90% of their income as taxes because of their white devil heritage. The national anthem will be God D*mn America. The Boarders will be totally open and American welfare and social security will be open to all citizens of the world.

9:03 Gonna take away your little corporate welfare tax break, is he?

Congrats Kevin, hope you still come to Tally sometimes.

How many more staff changes for Mel before he catches the K. Harris group?
If he runs in two years he will lose, because he is more inacessable than the president!

Will John be working on cuban or mexican issues? Given Fidel Mel's strength in the illegal alien community and his hero status in foreign lands, influence peddling access should present a tremendous opportunity.

Another NeoCon bites the dust....Its good that he leaves on his own instead of waiting around to be thrown out...

WHEN IS MARTINEZ LEAVING?? IT CAN'T BE TOO SOON!!! MAYBE HE'LL FORM HIS OWN LAW FIRM & CALL IT "AMNESTY, INC."
