The right job for Bob
Former U.S. Congressman Bob Clement officially announced the launch of Clement & Associates, a consulting and lobbying firm, yesterday evening via a news release. I remain profoundly relieved that Bob Clement was not elected as Nashville’s mayor, but I wish him no ill will in his new endeavor. My concerns about Clement serving as Nashville’s civic leader were that he was not well-suited for the job and that he had spent too much time as a “career politician,” an increasingly ugly insult in politics these days. This new undertaking is a much better fit for Clement, who can rely on his considerable experience in Washington to help the clients he will serve.
Web update: BobClement.com is still an empty shell in need of a splash page, and Clement & Associates is not these self-described “bean counters” from Sacramento.
