As previously noted, Biden's son is a lobbyist who works for drug companies.
Biden and those around him are going to present a lot of ethical problems.
Glad to see that change has finally arrived.

What is the name of the intern?

The real question will be if there is any direct effect, as in the quid pro quo of Abramoff/K Street Project with the Bush admin.

If you know how to play this game, there will indeed be a direct effect, but they'll cover their tracks so well so that it is hard to prove.
When called on it, you get all indignant and say that you're shocked to be accused of such a thing.
