No One Even Followed Up on the Lon Monk Lobbyist Bit
Durkin was the only one to touch on it much and then everyone dropped it. That was an amazing admission and even after Burris tried to clarify it by saying he was going to Monk to see if he had any excess work, the obvious issue was that Monk’s entire practice is built around having the Governor’s ear.
It’s not just that someone went to a lobbyist who was tight with the Governor, no one even thought it was strange.

There was one follow-up question, when Burris clarified why he met with Monk. It’s on my blog.

That’s what the excess work point is from actually–but the important thing to me is that this alone didn’t raise any eyebrows.
