Washington - and by “Washington,” I mean “some guys who keep e-mailing us” - can’t get enough of super-consultant Patrick Hynes.

We can’t vouch for the authenticity of this stuff, but it’s probably good to get it all out in public so Hynes can disclose everything and put it behind him. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a blogger having multiple clients in politics and business and blogging to promote them or connecting them with other bloggers. As long, of course, as it’s all disclosed.

Mysterious e-mail tips below the fold.
