Abramoff is a Republican problem through and through

thanks to fired up america via john at americablog for pointing me to this rather surprising piece in the national review online labeling the abramoff mess for what it is - a republican mess, through and through...

Republicans trumpet every Democratic connection to Abramoff in the hope that something resonates. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.), took more than $60,000 from Abramoff clients! North Dakota Democratic Sen. Byron Dorgan used Abramoff's skybox! It is true that any Washington influence peddler is going to spread cash and favors as widely as possible, and 210 members of Congress have received Abramoff-connected dollars. But this is, in its essence, a Republican scandal, and any attempt to portray it otherwise is a misdirection.

hey...! r's...! got that...! he's yours... ALL YOURS...!
