So much for congressional lobby reform?

By Lisa Myers & the NBC News Investigative Unit



WASHINGTON — Democrats say they were returned to power in part because of corruption and ethical lapses of the Republican Congress. They promised to clean up the swamp and crack down on lobbyists.

But hours after changing House rules to reduce favors from lobbyists, it was back to business as usual in Washington.

Democrats threw a $1,000-a-person fundraising concert in Washington Thursday night, with Hollywood celebrities, big donors and those lobbyists writing checks to re-elect Democrats.

One fine day, the first female Speaker is elected.

Next day, back to Lisa and the rest of the corporate media lapdogs.

Our work is far from over.
