Allard Loves Him Some Muammar Qaddafi

Word came this week that former Sen. Wayne Allard was taking a position with the top-shelf DC lobbying firm The Livingston Group, which settled any remaining questions about his bid to become CSU chancellor.

For someone ignominiously ranked by Time Magazine as one of the Five Worst Senators, you have to admit a job at Livingston is a pretty big score. Clients are a veritable who’s who of…shall we say, people that need special handling, from Accenture to the Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Great Jamahiriya (see photo–it’s okay, that means ‘tinpot dictator we can work with now’), and the pay is downright eye-popping by all accounts.

For more information about Livingston Group and the wild ride Colorado’s #1 veterinarian is in for, check out the 2005 report from Public Citizen titled “Congressional Revolving Doors: The Journey from Congress to K Street,” which uses Livingston as their case study. Safe to say, Allard won’t have time to spay your kitty anytime soon.
