Delaware Lifeguard Joined Abramoff Tribal Affairs Scheme as a "Think Tank"
I know it may be a stretch, but I'm from Delaware and I know that Rehoboth Beach is getting rather well known for it's gay life so I'm just wondering if David Grosh knows Jimmy-Jeff? Wouldn't THAT be a hoot?

Senators Hear of a Wink-Wink Lobbyist Move

By ANNE E. KORNBLUT
Published: June 23, 2005
WASHINGTON, June 22 -

David Grosh was living the mellow life of an off-season lifeguard in Rehoboth Beach, Del., when his childhood friend Michael Scanlon called from Washington in 2001 with a proposition.

"Want to be head of an international corporation?" Mr. Grosh said Mr. Scanlon asked him, almost in jest.

"I was like, sure," Mr. Grosh said.

Collecting less than $2,500, he became director of the American International Center, which used his rental beach house as its official address. "I was not really taking it seriously."

Four years later, Mr. Grosh, 36, wearing jeans and sideburns, recounted that tale before the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, as part of its inquiry into Jack Abramoff, the high-rolling Republican lobbyist.
