Now this could get really interesting.

I love it when the lizards from Gucci Gulch and the 'critters they buy get caught with their di*** in a wringer.

Everytime I read about the villainous bastard Abrahamoff, ripping off American Indians, I think about Bruce Ba Ba Babbitt, Clinton's Interior Secretary

http://www.savethepeaks.org/babbittwatch/



"Betrayal of Trust: Billions Stolen or Lost

As Secretary of the Interior, Babbitt was responsible for Indian Trust Accounts, a program created in 1887 to hold the proceeds of government-arranged leases of Indian lands. The government didn't believe Indians could handle their own finances. As it turned out, the Interior Department has mismanaged the trust from its inception, losing or misappropriating as much as 170 billion dollars of Indian money in one of the most shameful accounting scandals in history.

Native Americans sued the government for their lost money. The government has acknowledged in court that it still doesn't know the number of trust beneficiaries it serves. It doesn't know the value of the accounts or even the number of accounts it is supposedly administering.

Babbitt had 8 years in office to sort out the mess, but the federal judge responsible for the case grew so irritated with his department's inaction, intransigence and outright deception, that Babbitt along with two other officials were found to be in contempt of court. When Babbitt left office, the Trust Account scandal was no closer to resolution; meanwhile Native American families across the country remain cheated out of much needed income.

With the Abramoff story there is much more to be learned than the mere money corruption concerning politics.

Has McCain come riding on his white horse to clean up lobbying yet?

This will be an interesting week. Hopefully, if people did break the law, they will be taken down, regardless of political party.

More on the Abramoff money trail. What is damaging about this one, is the obvious attempt as to concealment of sources. The members of the House in Texas in 2007 will not be the same as in 2005.
