He could lead to problems, but also could be nothing more than a whimper in the scandal tales of D.C.

Some minor talk show pundits have chatted about this with the same tone as Fritmas and DeLays mug shot; they are probably dreaming as always; besides from what I have read he spread it around to everyone although this article focuses on Repubs and a slight mention of Reid.

"is on edge… could rock the political establishment in the nation's capital… could become the biggest congressional corruption scandal in generations… knows where a lot of the bodies are buried… wined and dined top politicos… Republican Party's culture of corruption… the golden boy gone bad of the American political system"

Yaaawn… a crooked lobbyist – how rare…

Who's Abramoff ?

The tip of an iceberg that's about to nail both political parties.

Yep, both. Wasn't it Croynon just a few days ago gave back money he had gotten with the help of Abramoff?

AFP's going to update the article when it is revealed just how many millions ended up going to the DNC.. Donations to state DNC GOTV programs in excess of $500,000 per state for battleground states will blare from the headlines...

And pigs will start flying.

He and his cohorts were almost as bad as the corrupt tribal councils that poured money into their hands. I hope the liberals really try to ride this pony; they're going to find out he's really just an ass.

I seriously hope that everyone gets fried that is involved in any corrupton with this case. Everyone. And if anyone here doesn't think the same, you don't really believe in a Free Republic.

I think/hope you are right...

Those deserving to be nailed should be, but I quibble with the article's reference to Abramoff as a "Republican lobbyist"! I say, spill the beans, Jack, and spill them all!!

Then our crack "investigative reporters" in the MSM better be right on top of the whole story, too...
