Haley Barbour said on Fox News Sunday that there was nothing wrong with his lobbyist past. "I am perfectly glad to look at the clients that I worked with when I was there," he said. But there's a but: Barbour may be eager to showcase his record, but one of Barbour's foreign lobbying clients could cause him some troubles in the 2012 Republican primary, if he decides to run. According to a State Department filing by Barbour's former lobbying firm, The Embassy of Mexico decided to retain Barbour's services on August 15, 2001, to work on, among other things, legislation that would provide a path to citizenship for foreigners living illegally in the United States—what opponents of immigration reform call “amnesty.”
Well, I'm no Frank Luntz, but I would suggest that an initiative to provide a pathway to citizenship be named the "Ending Our Dependence on Foreign Burritos Bill."
Give Barbour a Quartet!
Don't forget though...Haley did it for money, probably lots of it. Wealth covers a multitude of sins with the GOP.

He stuck his foot in his mouth? Apparently mistook it for a bacon-wrapped corndog.
