Business Insider:
Former Rep. Bob Livingston (R-LA) severed his firm’s lobbying contract with the Qaddafi-controlled government of Libya in the fall of 2009, after Qaddafi’s son welcomed the individual convicted of bombing Pan Am Flight 103 back to his home country as a conquering hero.
“Saif Qaddafi gave him a really public greeting broadcast around the world to welcome him home as a hero of the state — that was just too much,” Livingston told TPM in a telephone interview.

Saif Qaddafi was certainly successful at impressing political scientists and economists with his sincerity. Of course, we’ve all worked with a lot of political scientists and economists.

I remember clearly Mr. Bob Livingston while being Speaker of the House, acussing President Clinton of having an extra-marital affair, while having one himself…So are we amazed that he lobbied for Qaddafi? Who are we kidding?
Same with Mr. Newt Gingrich, now about to run for President (again). He was asked recently about same situation(he was cheating on his wife on death bed, while poiting the accusatory finger at Mr. Clinton). He just reiterated his “sanctimonius position” in a recent interview, his excuse: I could not see a President bend the law…but avoided the question on his extra marital affair…If you trust them, I have a Brooklyn Bridge to sell you…old but in good shape!
