The republican scumbag brigade is trying going with the Hermann Goering Meme...if you tell a big enough lie, everyone will believe it to be the truth. It's not true that Abramoff was a bi-partisan corrupter...he was strictly a republican corruption machine, and while the egregious lobbying practices of "K" Street undoubtedly touched many whose moral compass was more aligned with Caribbean vacations than constituent ministration, this is not a "bi-partisan scandal", no matter how hard the GoOPers try and spin that angle.

You can see all the cock-a-roaches, as Telly Savalas used to say, scurrying for cover as the light of indictment gets brighter...

Hours after Abramoff pleaded guilty to conspiracy, mail fraud and tax evasion charges, House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) announced that he will donate to charity the tens of thousands of dollars that he has received from Abramoff's Indian tribe clients. Top Republican strategists pushed GOP leaders to embrace legislation to curb the influence of lobbyists.

Word.

So it's time to start calling these major league assholes in the media everytime they parrot the blast-fax line about "bi-partisan". The closest thing to a bi-partisan effort in Congress recently was that abortion of a bill on bankruptcy ... bought and paid for by banking lobbyists and kept alive at their behest by Democrat MBNA Joe Biden. We should be ashamed of him, and now we know why... he's part of the culture of corruption, not a Abramoff spawn, but on the same wavelength ... would he have turned down Jack "Jack"? Magic Eight ball says "unlikely".
