Abramoff

The story isn't that Jack Abramoff got 70 months is prison -- he was a Republican, and Republican wrong doers always get prison,and quickly.  No, the story is that this began as a three ring media circus, -  the biggest scandal in all of humandom *snark* .  Bigger than the Congressional Post Office scandel. Bigger than Teapot Dome. Bigger than Hillary's thighs. Every Republican in Washington was going to jail.  There were charges that Bush and Abramoff might actually have been in the city at the same time! Remember?  HOWARD DEAN: There are no Democrats who took money from Jack Abramoff, not one, not one single Democrat. Every person named in this scandal is a Republican. - Jan 8, 2006  Less than a month later it had been established that Harry Reid was awash in Abramoff money, and had interceded with Secretary of the Interior Gail Norton over a casino dispute involving an Abramoff client.  . DEAN: '''There's not one shred of evidence that any Democrat, A, knew that he was getting a contribution from Jack Abramoff and, B, did anything in exchange for it...[but if he did]  ''that's a big problem, and those Democrats are in trouble, and they should be in trouble.'' - Jan 29, 2006 We heard  no more screeching from the Lefty media circus after that, did we?  Nuh-uh.
