A Spectacular Conflict Of Interest

Via BooMan, Democratic lobbyist and general pain in the ass Lanny Davis has a new lobbying client: the leaders of the coup that booted Honduran President Zelaya from the country.

The Hill reports that Davis has been hired by the Honduran branch of CEAL, the Latin American equivalent of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, to urge US lawmakers to support, rather than oppose, the military removal of President Manuel Zelaya, Honduras's democratically elected president.

Of course, thanks to his close ties to the current Secretary of State -- who met with Zelaya yesterday -- Davis could be particularly well placed for the job. But the Fox News contributor said he had no plans to set up a meeting between Clinton and the current and former Honduran government officials with whom he's working.

Because that would be A SPECTACULAR CONFLICT OF INTEREST and ILLEGAL AS ALL HELL of course.

You won't find a Republican to make a peep about it however. They're backing Micheletti just like Lanny Davis.
