I'm more concerned about lobbying than I am about guys giving speeches to colleges and business organizations. I think there should be a strict rule that you cannot lobby if you've been a politician, and that you cannot be a politician if you've been a lobbyist. I think the incestuous relationship between those two occupations has done a lot of harm in our country, and cleaning that up would go a long way toward cleaning government up. But I don't think you can restrict people from their speaking and book deals- that seems like too much of a restraint on free speech.
