WP: Aide in Schiavo Case Lands a Lobbying Gig

[kskiska]

It's become a Washington truism that there may be flameouts, arrests, firings and other falls from grace, but rarely is anyone truly down and out. Keep your head down at least briefly, and you're sure to pop up again.

The latest to pop up is Brian Darling , the former counsel to Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.), who wrote a memo that discussed the political ramifications of intervening in the case of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged woman who died in March after she was taken off a feeding tube. Darling resigned after the ensuing flak over whether Republicans were trying to use the Schiavo tragedy to political advantage.

A Republican activist and former lobbyist for the Alexander Strategy Group , Darling recently registered to lobby for the Sprenger & Lang law firm on enforcing judgments won under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Darling declined to talked about the memo days. He said he's working solo now and has not decided what he will be doing in the future.
