Jack Abramoff, the notorious lobbyist and ex-con, says he's thinking of writing a book with that title. Ezra Klein highlights portions of Abramoff's interview with Lesley Stahl, in which Abramoff explained how he could easily "own" people on Capitol Hill by offering them future high-paying lobbying jobs:
Once the key staffers or legislators were bought, the trick was getting clients what they wanted without attracting attention. "So what we did was we crafted language that was so obscure, so confusing, so uninformative, but so precise." The following line of text, for instance, quietly won Abramoff’s Native American clients a casino license: "Public law 100-89 is amended by striking section 207 (101 stat. 668, 672)."
Neil Volz, a lobbyist who worked with Abramoff, thinks he's exaggerating his hold over Hill staffers.
