Ralphie Reed's Georgia Campaign

My favorite Ralph Reed quote on his role in the Abramoff scandal is the defense that he didn't know Abramoff was funneling him casino gambling money for his group's campaign against a state lottery. "Had I known then what I know now, I would not have undertaken the work." Except that according to e-mails found during the investigation, apparently not only did he know where Abramoff was getting the money, but Abramoff suggested Reed continue funneling the money through other groups to disguise its casino background.
