Rep. Roy Blunt Named One Of Five "Waterboys" By Rolling Stone

Submitted by Roy Temple on August 25, 2005 - 7:33am

The August 25th issue of Rolling Stone names five Waterboys, congressmen who never met a lobbyist they didn't like.  Among those named, Rep. Roy Blunt (R-K Street).

Here's what Rolling Stone says about Blunt:

Blunt is the patriarch of a lobbying family: Blunt's wife is a lobbyist for the firm Altria, which donated $270,000 to Blunt-related committees.  Meanwhile, Blunt's son lobbies for a number of companies with financial relationships to Blunt committees.  [He is] the leading candidate to succeed Tom DeLay someday.
