Tony, We Hardly Knew 'Ye

Tony Rudy, BTW, may be better known to those following the Abramoff case as "Staffer A.”

In addition to the fun family connections, Rudy was approached to help convince DeLay to kill an Internet gambling prohibition bill (thank you eLottery, Inc.) and also the help knock down a rate increase on magazines (and thank you Magazine Publishers of America). Oh yeah, and Howard Rubenstein of the publisher’s group told the Washington Post that its directors "had absolutely no knowledge of how the money would be used."
