Chinese Law Firm to Merge With American Firms, Employ Howard Dean, Newt Gingrich

Dacheng, one of the biggest law firms in the People's Republic of China, is set to merge with two major American law firms, Dentons and McKenna Long & Aldridge, making it the largest law firm in the world.

The arrangement will bring together a unique arrangement of policy professionals all under the same roof. The new mega-firm will employ, via Dentons: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Democratic National Committee Chair Joe Andrew, and former Rep. Van Hilleary, R-Tenn., among others. McKenna Long's political roster includes: former Democratic National Committee Chair Howard Dean, former D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams, former Rep. Bill Owens, D-N.Y., and former Sen. Gary Hart, D-Colo. Many of the individuals, like Hart, do not have a law degree or practice law, but work in the "government affairs" departments of the two firms, a catch-all phrase to describe lobbying-related business.

#3 Newton Leroy Gingrich,
When he became "Beijingrich,"
Resolved the ancient mystery
Of why he studied history.

#4 Should make it much easier for the Chinese to make large ~~bribes~~ contributions to their candidates and buy Congressmen and Senators.

Not to mention transfer tech out of the country.
