The best part about this, under Obama's ethics rules, she's not allowed to lobby the FCC on any matters, nor can she lobby any executive branch member about the Comcast/NBC merger until President Obama leaves office[1]. So she's being hired as a lobbyist even though she won't be able to lobby anyone.

In this case, the "lobbying" was done from the inside as a regulator, and now comes the cushy job in which she can barely operate except to dump her rolodex and manage people.


As a commenter on the article mentions it doesn't prevent her from Lobbying congress or simply doing it through a proxy to the FCC.
