Lobbyists had copy of stimulus before many lawmakers

I thought this was somewhat telling:

»www.usnews.com/blogs/washington-···-do.html

We're receiving E-mails from Capitol Hill staffers expressing frustration that they can't get a copy of the stimulus bill agreed to last night at a price of $789 billion. What's more, staffers are complaining about who does have a copy: K Street lobbyists. E-mails one key Democratic staffer: "K Street has the bill, or chunks of it, already, and the congressional offices don't. So, the Hill is getting calls from the press (because it's leaking out) asking us to confirm or talk about what we know�€”but we can't do that because we haven't seen the bill."
