Abramoff Pleads Guilty.....Let the Scandal begin!

Oh...this is the best.

This scandal will involve more Congressmen than the
Keating Five, more money than Abscam, and reach
higher into the halls of Congress and the White House
then Iran/contra.

It doesn't get any better, a timeless spectacle of
greed and abuse of power. Even better than sex, ah
better than the Clinton scandals.

Who will rat on who? And who will 'fall of their sword'?
How far will it go?

Even Speilberg couldn't produce a better drama
as truth is always stranger than fiction.

They say that this is going to be a big one as far as scandals go;
possibly the biggest in around 100 years.
Even our own Senator Dorgan has been touched by the taint...and he's one
of the lead investigators into the wrongdoing.

Well, Bush, DeLay and a few other Republican scumbags have
announced their campaign contributions from Abramoff will be
donated to charity. What moral giants.

Fake wire transfers. Mob-style assassinations. The American
people should be proud of themselves.

And the U.S. media? Hiding this story in the back pages as
usual.

Allowing unelected officials to have too much power is the real shame. The
size of the paycheck, the price of gas and the acquistion of more stuff is
more important than real leadership to the American people.

Yes, the "liberal media" is protecting the neocons now.

The whole 'spying on Americans' thing is another biggee. Bush thinks
he can ignore the will of a republican Congress and the Constitution.
Incredible! Even George Will the other week was beside himself
on this one. He couldn't believe any President would try to extend
Presidential authority that far.

What I find incredible in this Lobbyist scandal is that the republicans
run all three branches of govt, yet are still getting indicted!

That's not easy to do!

I mean, when your own Justice dept starts indicting you! Gosh!
This brings new meaning to the idea of highly partisan investigations.
In the Clinton impeachment we knew it was highly partisan, as in
one party out to get the other. Now, it's still partisan, only in
one party destroying itself.

That's getting to be kinda like being on Nixon's enemies list.
Back then it was a badge of honor to be on that list.

Republicans NEED an enemy, even if it is themselves. You do recall how the
party rallied around Nixon, right?

Until that list became bigger than his "friends" list.

I believe that President Bush has excellent reasons for the NSA monitoring
(spying on Americans on overseas calls) and perhaps some good logical
reasons for monitoring internal traffic.

I am also suspicious that this might be a "red herring" leaked by the Bush
administration itself as they believe that once the whole enterprise comes
to light that the American voting people will believe it is far better for
the monitoring to be done than taking the legalistic attitude that it is
better
to risk a terrorist attack than do some questionable monitoring.

Takes peoples minds off things like Abramoff corruption probes where it
looks as if the Republicans attitude that they don't like dealing with
people
who contribute to both sides could mean a lot more Republicans end up
getting caught than Democrats.
