Watch Them Run
Oh this Abramoff scandal is going to be too much fun! Since the announcement of Abramoff's plea deal yesterday, lobbyists and Congressmen have been scattering like cockroaches when the light's turned on.
The first Congressman to on the list is Rep. Robert W. Ney (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Administration Committee. And we wait with baited breath for the rest, 'cause Abramoff's been talking behind the scenes to prosecutors for months.
Dennis Hassart, step on up. Oh no, wait, Dennis says that he didn't know where the money was coming from, or what it was for (that's one badly done bribe if so Abramoff). Just hours after the plea annoucement, Dennis Hastert (you remember him, Speaker of the House, Republican from Illinois and, oh yeah, recepient of Abramoff money) announced that he will donate the tens of thousands of dollars he got from Abramoff to charity. He did not announce whether or not one of those charities would be Native Americans (whose tribal monies were used by Abramoff in his schemes).
