WASHINGTON -- Rose and Zine Hosein have stand-up jobs - and get paid $15 an hour for it. The 60-something couple have the ultimate niche occupation in Washington's influence economy, holding places in line for lobbyists outside crowded congressional hearing rooms. They bring folding chairs, coffee and patience to a job regarded by some about as highly as the influence brokers who hire them. Their days can start before 3 a.m., leaving them to wait - sometimes outdoors - for six or more hours. They take off after turning over their spot in line to their customers, and the hearing-room doors swing open. Finding elbow room is up to them.


This is sickening. I am strongly against lobbying, Congress should not work for special interest groups. And if those lobbyist are really passionate about their cause then they should stand up at 3 am to queue like everybody else, not use their corrupt wealth to hire the sheeple to do the job for them!
