Thinking about the Politico story linked on the TPM front page about the Washington Post selling lobbyists access to their reporters, but also administration officials, members of Congress, and other movers and shakers.  This is obviously twisted and evil, but I think the participation of the government officials is of greater import than the sale of the reporters.  Why would Obama officials participate?  They can obviously talk to lobbyists anytime they want.  What, if anything, does this tell those of us pushing for progressive health care reform?
