I know why the almost-caged bird will sing

Whoo-hoo! Warm up the Tenors boys, there's gonna be some Opera sung down in Southern Florida. I have a feeling this is gonna get more attention than Butterfly Ballots in Autumn, and there won't be any republican operatives to stop the caterwaulin'.

Former Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff pleaded not guilty Monday to federal charges of conspiracy and wire fraud stemming from his purchase five years ago of a Florida casino cruise line.
I'm waiting for the part where he starts namin' names.

Pass the popcorn...it's gonna be a bumpy ride for someone, I have a feeling.

Don't get too happy just yet. Apparently he's already offered and has been getting the cold shoulder...

"I'm waiting for the part where he starts namin' names."

It may be a long wait if reports out of Miami are to be believed.

Seems that he was ready to cut a deal, flipping in exchange for reduced charges but the DOJ supposedly was not interested.

You know, if the DOJ is turning down his deal, it may just be that they already know whatever he has to tell them--and plenty of evidence to prove it.

We can only hope.

Of course it's also possible that they don't want him to name names... Which suggests they're protecting the usual suspects.

What a world.

I know it's warm in South Florida, but if there's any chance whatever that Abramoff actually could do any damage to the administration, then he'd better start packing Kevlar underwear.
