Getting Some

To the Editor:
Steve Moore reports on corporate America's new-found passion - expressed with generous sums of $$$ - for the Democratic Party ("Comfy with K Street," October 19). Mr. Moore sensibly explains this infatuation by quoting former Rep. Dick Armey's observation that "business groups are simply not ideological givers. They give to buy access and to minimize risk."
Put somewhat differently: like men intent on getting some, most corporate executives care nothing about the party affiliations or ideologies of the currently available assortment of whores.
Sincerely,
