Putting a face on corporate greed.
If you've ever wanted solid evidence supporting all of the complaining that citizens groups do about how lawmaking has been utterly compromised by special interests, look no further than AT&T chief Ed Whitacre's parting rant to his board on the topic of outlawing Net Neutrality:

“With all of our generous campaign contributions, I’m quite certain that Congress will see it our way,” he said during his farewell speech. “Who else they gonna listen to? The public?!?”

and how about this little gem?:

“Will Congress let us do it?” Whitacre asks his colleagues. “You bet they will — cuz we don’t call it cashin’ in. We call it ‘deregulation.’ ”

Jawdropping.
