Political Wire passes on this story from the pay to play Roll Call:
Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT), "in a rare bipartisan gesture in the increasingly caustic Abramoff era, took the bold step of cutting a $1,000 check to a 22-year-old political neophyte running for the Republican nomination to a state House seat" in Iowa, Roll Call reports. "The candidate? Pat Grassley, grandson of Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), chairman of the Finance Committee."
"Together, Baucus and Grassley have developed one of the better chairman-ranking member relationships in the chamber, a situation that has at times alarmed the leadership of both parties who fear too much compromise on Finance matters might leave both political wings unhappy."
Pat Grassley wasn't even BORN when Grandpa got elected to the Senate... and Grassley was in public office for 22 years BEFORE he went to the senate.
