Loyalty and patriotism at [or after] DHS?

Not much comment, apart from snippets of this NY Times piece from Sunday:

At least 90 officials at the Department of Homeland Security or the White House Office of Homeland Security — including the department's former secretary, Tom Ridge; the former deputy secretary, Adm. James M. Loy; and the former under secretary, Asa Hutchinson — are executives, consultants or lobbyists for companies that collectively do billions of dollars' worth of domestic security business.

More than two-thirds of the department's most senior executives in its first years have moved through the revolving door.

As long as we know that their income is protected, the nation can twist in the wind.

Democratic candidates can get a lot of mileage adding this fact to doubling the size of K Street lobbyists since Bush took office. Republicans for limited government? Not hardly?
