Circling the Hill (Mark Russell on Abramoff)...

Edited on Thu Jan-19-06 01:26 AM by Peter Frank

Circling the Hill

Inside the Beltway yesterday bumped into political satirist and pianist Mark Russell and asked him to explain how the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal is changing Washington.

"It's getting to this," replied the popular comedian, without missing a beat. "The children in my neighborhood are playing lobbyists and Indians."

Mr. Russell will no doubt expand on this and other sordid Washington affairs when he appears at Ford's Theatre for three nights next month -- Feb. 6, 13 and 20.<snip>

Mark Russell's answer to the frequently asked question, "Do you have any writers?" is "Oh, yes...I have 535 writers. One hundred in the Senate and 435 in the House of Representatives."
