Michael Winship, Truthout: 'For all their talk of the Founding Fathers, the Constitution and core principles, you d have thought that the current freshman class of Congress, the sprouted seed of Tea Partiers and the 2010 midterms, would have made a similar tour their first priority on arrival... But for some, the siren song of cash and influence has proven stronger, already luring them onto the rocks of privilege and corruption that lurk just inside the Beltway. They?ve made a beeline not for the hallowed shrines of patriots? pride but the elegant suites of K Street lobbyists, where the closest its residents have been to Lincoln is the bearded face peering from the five-dollar bill - chump change.'
