No doubt that the Senator got her the gig. No doubt about that.
And I agree with you, it is sleazy and it is very much DC politics. There is a reason that all those Representatives and Senators want to be re-elected so bad -- and it's not all just because they love to legislate. If they don't go in as millionaires, they certainly come out as one.

What I was thinking though is that these Outide Directors usually get paid for oversight, but they don't have any voting rights or ability to direct the operations of the company -- that's why the pay is basically just a fee. I've known of people who were appointed to several companies as an "Outside Dirctor". It's a pretty sweet gig.
