Regulatory Capture
This just sickens me.

FCC Commissioner Approves Comcast/NBC Deal, Leaves FCC To Go Work For Comcast

Quote:Less than four months after Commissioner Baker voted to approve Comcast's takeover of NBC Universal, she's reportedly departing the FCC to lobby for Comcast-NBC. This is just the latest — though perhaps most blatant — example of a so-called public servant cashing in at a company she is supposed to be regulating.

Only a career politician wouldn't see anything wrong with this. We need to fire the whole lot of them into the sun.

RE: Regulatory Capture
The defense department is even worse for this kind of cronyism.
