Abby Blunt Doesn't Lobby Congress? Says Who? And Since When?

Today's Washington Post has an important story of the role that ties to K Street may play in the race for Majority Leader of the House.

The story lists a sickening array of ties to K Street for both Rep. Roy Blunt  and Rep. John Boehner.  But the story makes one statement that does not appear to be true.

Weisman recounts one example of Blunt doing the bidding of Phillip Morris by inserting a provision into the bill creating the Department of Homeland Security:

The stories are numerous. Just hours after Blunt was named to the House's third-highest leadership job in 2002, he unsuccessfully tried to insert a measure benefiting Philip Morris into the 475-page bill creating the Department of Homeland Security. Blunt's ties to the company are thick: He was very close to a company lobbyist, Abigail Perlman, at the time, and married her in 2003. She does not lobby Congress. One of his sons, Andrew B. Blunt, lobbies the Missouri legislature for Philip Morris.

But according to the latest lobbying reports filed by  Altria, the parent company of Phillip Morris, and Ms. Perlman's employer, in fact, she still lobbies Congress.

In Altria's 19 page lobbying report, they list Abigail Blunt as lobbying on Budget/Approriations matters, Food Industry issues, Health issues, Tobacco issues, Torts, and Trade.  In all cases they list her as lobbying both the House and Senate, and in some cases, she is also listed as lobbying the Bush administration as well. 

You don't think Blunt's people would have misled the Washington Post do you?
