Sen. Zell Miller, the Georgia Democrat who turned on colleague John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) and campaigned for President Bush, will be trying his hand at government relations in the private sector when he retires from the Senate next month.

Miller is joining McKenna Long & Aldridge, a law firm of 350 lawyers and policy advisers, with offices in Atlanta, the District and elsewhere. He will be a "senior policy adviser" in the law firm's government affairs practice.

Even when the year-long restriction on lobbying senators is over, it does not sound as if Miller will be actually buttonholing lawmakers. He said he will be advising clients on how they can get their legislative way and come up with "practical solutions."

"I certainly don't plan on walking any halls of Congress," he said in an interview yesterday. But his work for McKenna is "something I can do and still live in my home" in Young Harris, Ga. He talked about "a certain expertise" he has in national security and military matters but said he has not been able to talk to the law firm about the specifics of what he will be doing, because he is still in the Senate.

Another person who sells his soul and is handsomely rewarded for it. It pays to be a Republican.
