Hey, I'm all for sticking by a mate in trouble, but is this the sort of issue a politician really wants to make a name with?

I think this sheila's a total bloody dill!

[Aussie Dasher]

My mistake. I thought anyone called "Dana" would be female...

I now think this bloke is a total bloody dill!

I had to double check to make sure this wasn't Scrappleface. Looks like Dana is about to be outed a la mode Cunningham, hence his ridiculous defense of the indefensible Abramhoff.

Yeah, not exactly someone to come to bat for... "don't hate the criminla, hate the crime"

Jack Abramoff said some hilariously foul mouthed nasty things about the Indian tribes he bilked. Behind their backs he as much as called them morons.

The money the Coushatta Tribe and other tribes with casino interests paid to Abramoff helped him spread favors and gain access in the nation's capital -- the subject of speculation about a widening political dragnet. But even more rankling to many Coushattas is the knowledge that Abramoff had, in released e-mails, referred to some of his Native American clients as "monkeys," "troglodytes" and "morons."

"That hit a nerve," Sickey said, frowning and pausing. "That really hit a nerve."

"I think that a lot of other things that have been characterized as corruption on the part of Abramoff are actually standard operating procedures for lobbying in Washington, D.C. — arranging trips and things like that.

Problem is Dana, when someones gives you a free vacation, you owe 'em...We know that...You know that...And somehow, you guys worked it out so it's legal...

But not in my book...Everyone of you that has accepted a free gift is a slime...If your salary isn't enough for you, I'll do my best to help you give up your job...After all, you ARE working for me, slimeball...

"Dana" is a man.

Yes, I know. But he's a man.

BTW, ping to you Torie, I seem to remember you said you knew Rohrbacher. He was defending some terrorist sympathizers or something when we were having that discussion.
