The Senator from Wellpoint

It looks like old Evan's done pretty well in his time in government.

Bayh finances improve during Senate tenure - The Courier-Journal

Again, Evan is a poster-child for most of what's wrong with the US government/elites. A career politician, from a powerful political family. Probably would never had been elected without the BAYH family name. As far as I know he's never really had a real job. He's been a centrist politician that hasn't really done much in his time in washington. He got rich (richer?) because coporate america likes to get around campaign and quid-pro-quo laws by putting wives of a senators on their boards and pilling on the stock options. He doesn't really live in Indiana. His kids don't go to school in Indiana. He has very little in common with most hoosiers. He's just part of the royal elites with Indiana as his royal domain. We should crown him the Duke of Indiana and Wellpoint.
