What's That Flushing Sound in the White House?

Ah yes, it's Abramoff money. As Congressmen slither around and run for cover and either give Abramoff money away or say they didn't know it was a bribe, the White House steps up to announce that:

President Bush's re-election campaign will give the American Heart Association thousands of dollars in campaign contributions connected to lobbyist Jack Abramoff, the White House said Wednesday, as the government pressed forward with a broad-ranging corruption investigation.

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Wednesday that Abramoff, his wife and the tribal associates that he helped win influence on Capitol Hill donated thousands to the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign. Donations to charities has been the policy in similar situations in the past, McClellan said.

Run Bushie, run.
