Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., was exaggerating a bit in these comments quoted by National Review’s Jonathan Strong: “Capitol Hill aides, he said ‘may be 33 years old now and not making a lot of money. But in a few years they can just go to K Street,’ the Washington, D.C., vernacular for becoming a lobbyist, ‘and make $500,000 a year.’ ”

But he was onto something true — Hill staff (and, frankly, Congressmen) often cash out and become high-paid lobbyists. So I started wondering: Which Gingrey aides have done this?
