One Down, How Many to Go?

When the Alexander Strategy Group opened up shop in DC in 1998, they had a good friend’s connections to thank for new business (step up to the plate, Tom DeLay). Now that Tommy is in a bit of an ethical sand trap, and ASG & DeLays friend Abramoff taking a plea in his bribery case, ASG’s fortunes seem to be on the downturn. So the company is closing up most of its operations. As it’s owner Edwin Buckham (oh, yeah, and ex DeLay aide) told the Washington Post, “Reports in the press have made it difficult to continue as a lobbying/political entity." Damn that press for exposing unethical behavior in the first place, who do they think they are?!
