Following the Money in Jack's World

In today's Post, there's an interesting (and let's face it, depressing) article about Abramoff's financial shenanigans. Some of us have been paying attention to Jack again after the latest revalation of his connection with White House staff. The article focuses on Abramoff's use of Grover Norquist and his conservative "Americans for Tax Reform" and another Norquist-tied organization, "Council of Republicans for Environmental Advocacy" to funnel funds. Read more about it here.

Ever wonder why the Republicans don't just right out and create an organization called, "Helping the Rich Get Richer and Screw the Poor, the Earth and Regular People" and be done with it? Then again, honesty has never really been much of a strength for the right wing.
